Evening

I'm sat here looking at all my new kit

but.......

Am i thick or I do i need to buy a special bracket to fit my SSD into my case :confused:

It's Cooler Master CM-690 II Lite Dominator

The CM-690 II Lite doesn't come with a 2.5" to 3.5 mounting bracket like the Advanced Dominator does.
If you didn't get one with the SSD or Case then yes, you will need to buy one.
EG:
OCZ 2.5" to 3.5" SSD Adaptor

What SSD is it? some come with them in the box.

look harder.

Or if u are up to a bit of modding u cna just drill a couple of holes in the case somewhere and mount it.

Or do what panyan did on his build.

i had a few thoughts about the ssd:

1) stick it under the mobo so that it could be seen - but becuase of where the leads go, it would have to updise-down.... nope

2) stick it on the psu somewhere - trailing leads aroung?... nope

3) stick it on the hdd cage - the nobules were in the way... nope

4) no 2.5/3.5 bay adapter so just used double-sided tape - result below

This is his Build log.

Are the adaptor kits universal? If so i'll just pick one up locally

Otherwise double sided tape it is xd.

They are all the same it just closes the gap from 3.5" to 2.5"

In fact if u pay the postage i have a spare OCZ one i can send u for free.

you get free delivery from OcUK, so you might as well just get one of these and be done with it:

it can take two 2.5" SSDs or HDDs and fits into one 3.5" HDD slot
