I just bought a new HD but no screws or power cable.

What screws will fit? Also Will a Sata splitter work fine with 2x HD on it?

Pain in the ass that they dont come with all the bits, this has atleast boosted the price to £10+

I find #6-32 x 1/4in Long Standoff Or M3 x 1/4in Long Standoff for the screws.

I also got a similar of this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CB-058-AK

Will this do? I already have a Data cable.

Heres a Youtube clip of my case.

Will i be to fit 2x HD in the HD bay? It looks like i can fit 3x but i guess that will get hot, will 2 be fine inside there?
 
Did you buy an OEM HDD? This is usually the bare drive.

The Sata power cable should work fine. HDD screws can be bought in a shop for £3 pack of 50, but any screw that fits the thread will be fine.

Theres no link in your message, HDD are fine usually don't get too hot.

I have my HDD at top of my case in 5.25" bay, no airflow, it's at 28C, with 2 drives they got to 29C.
 
Look's like you can fit 4 HDD in those holders, they will have airflow over them too so temps shouldn't be a problem. Having loads of HDD installed will restrict airflow into the case though no doubt.

Tbh, your chassis should have come with a bag of screws for fitting the HDD's.
 
I know i got the pc in a bundle though so they keep all the goodies that come with it thats how they sell on for so cheap.

Do you know what screws it needs?

I cant link them but ive found some for £3 but dunno if they will fit.
