Did I need this?

D3m · 14 Sep 2012 at 09:33

I have just ordered everything for my new build which included a NZXT Phantom fulll tower case and a OCZ ssd. Did I need to order a bracet to fit it to that case? The fact it uses screwless bays confuses it for me even more!
Any help would be so grateful as where I live I have to order everything online so may delay my build !

My phantom came with an sad adaptor in the box

Thanks for the quick response guys, I think I will wait and see what comes with the case if you both got one with your cases

I didnt get one with my case......i stole the one i use off my wife

There are plenty of reasons not to worry.
the case usually comes with one, the SSD usually comes with one, and it's an SSD so you don't even need to mount it in a drive bay

Just stick it to the back of the case or on the floor

if you don't get one, you can use blu tack or tape to secure it, or zip ties, that's how my H50 is mounted.

I thought this too. But I just sit mine loose in the drive bay, never been an issue. That's one of the great things about SSDs

The Phantom does use screw-less HDD Bays, but hard drives have screw hole on the sides and bottom. You can screw them in at the bottom if you do not want to use the rubber things. It also has pre-drilled holes for 2.5' drives (laptops and SSD)

I have 2 full size drives screwed in (1Tb and 500Gb) and one 2.5' 160Gb Laptop drive screwed in for the Girlfriends iTunes.

Found some pics for an example. These are NZXT Phantom HDD Bays.

SSD's should fit just the same as the pic above.

I only put a screw in each corner of mine though, doubt you need all four in. Especially as its an SSD as it has no vibration.
