Antec 1100 drive rails

pauLAW · 22 Mar 2013 at 13:39

I have lost my spare drive rails and cannot install a new HDD I have bought

Does anyone know where I can get some replacement rails from? Im so gutted, I must had accidentally thrown the spares out.

Any help would be great I cannot see them on the Antec website either.

Are they the same as the P180/2 series?

Slightly different, P180 is flat with metal clip at one end, & doesn't have the pins.

Antec 1100 rails.

P180/2 rails.

I need them

I don't think the ones I have look anything like that :/ Will check tonight.

I have even emailed OCUK to see if they could help and got nowhere

I am screwed - I cant believe that you cannot buy replacement rails! All of the support seems to be US on the Antec website, no UK customer support

I have got no where with this - added with the total frustration of not being able to decrease the top case fan speed I might be forced into ordering a new case

That's why I changed from Antec to Coolermaster cases as their spares come from the Netherlands.

Back to your case, I would have thought the rails would be a standard width & length, they ain't going to make different rails for each case, the only difference I suspect is the end retaining clips.

May be worth putting a post up in the MM, see if anyone has any spare ones lying about they don't need?

TehBluebear · 28 Mar 2013 at 08:51

In fact, don't Antec have a rep on these forums?

EDIT: They do, 'Antec - Barry' is his name.

I got replacements for my P180 around two years ago after just emailing them
Don't know if this was the address I used but there is no harm in sending them a message to find out where to ask

[email protected]

They were quite expensive to get hold of but they were the only supplier I could find

The last time I bought Antec rails (AMG 1080) it worked out cheaper buying from the states even with the p&p.

Thanks for this but this again is a invalid inactive email address - I am getting no where, can anyone recommend a good replacement case?

I think they are the same just the colour.

I have some of them if you want i can post them out.

pauLAW · 4 Apr 2013 at 18:43

Sven they look a lot different to the one I am using on the installed drive, are you sure they will work in this case?

sven256 · 4 Apr 2013 at 18:54

Post a picture of them. as i have quite a few types from antec cases so i may have a matching set somewhere.

Quick edit.

i think i misread Nightglow post, and it's the top picture you need not the bottom.

If so i don't think i have any of those types.

pauLAW · 4 Apr 2013 at 19:00

Yeah its the first picture posted by Nightglow - thanks for the offer tho, much appreciated.

Antec has/used to have a section on another computer focused UK forum I can't mention the name of.

Their section is no longer visible though a Google search shows it's still there and was posted in as recently as January.

Some people were discussing replacement doors for a case. [email protected] got them a response and new door for €30.
