Alternative HDD mouning

[Frozennova]

Before ive even got my water loop in I already want to either swap my single for a dual or add a dual and get my gpu I under water as well. The only problem being it would mean removing the HDD bays from my antec 300.

My question being what's my best option, it will only be one drive and all of my optical bays are full due to dvdrw and bay Res/Pump combo

Just sit it loose in the bottom right in front of the psu ? just use some old rubber case feet or similar to sit it on

Could always suspend it using bungee or clothing elastic.

Was thinking that C64 but I'm worried about it being moved by the misses while being switched on and killing a drive etc

velcro stickers and stick to the side of the case

You could always buy a bigger case

I've only just bought a bigger case and enjoy the modding, not too sure on velcro with mechanical drives weigh a little more than I trust, another excuse for an SSD though.

Im think 3M double sided mounting foam on the bottom of the case

velcro is uber strong. Just make sure the reverse sticks to the case or whater you are stickign it to. Strong but it can be easily moved.

It will hold up the weight of a human if you use enough

Just use something hard plastic for the sides of drives to attach via screws with attaching the plastic bits to a suspension mount from underneath the 525 bay

this is the sort of thing I am talking about

I made plates to screw to the sides of my hard drives, then suspended them in the empty 5.25" bays on zip ties.

Can't see it too well, but you can probably get the idea.

The %.25" bays will be filled with DVDRW and Dual bay pump/res combo, otherwise I would have bought an adapter

Ahh, pain.
