Hi just fitting my hard drive (see thread on follow my journey)... and cant seems to find my hd drive in my case??..

its an antec 902...the screw holes in the side dont seem to fit with the holes in the case?? it looks like the case fan is stopping me from fitting it all the way in??..

Hardrives use different screws to motherboards (generally). Are you using the right screws?

PIJ123 · 23 Oct 2009 at 15:57

well when i put it in i cant eeven see the screw gaps through the case to put any screw into

turn the hdd upside down.

Quick edit

I have the Antec 900 case, if the 902 is simliar remove the front of the case (there should be 4 clips holding it in place) then undo the HDD cage by taking out the big thumb screws then remove the bay covers and pull towards the front.

No luck..

just another question have i got the hsf on the right way around?/...

Fan looks ok to me?!

Does the case come with a manual? Maybe that says how to attach HDs. If they use some sort of quick attachment system you may not use screws.

i would rotate that 90 degrees to the right, pulling the cool air in from the front and then blowing it towards the fan at the back to exhaust the warm air

so face it the other way??

it took me AGES to get it onto the board and the paste would have set by now wouldnt it??

your welcome

good luck, and take your time. Building is half the fun

You also might want to keep all questions in your first post as more people will look at a build log thread

Take pics along the way too.
