I have the above case, link to specs etc here:

I know it's not the best in the world, but it does have exceptional airflow due to the twin mounted front fans. I bought it on a whim as my old one was absolutely pants and it was far to restricted.

Basically, the mounts for the HDD's are poo, there are instructions but they are extremely hard to follow. I just want my HDD's to sit in secure. I have two WD Raptors and one Caviar, and they are held on by the little plastic things with four screws, and two on either side which go on to the case. I would like to make them more secure but I don't see how I can do this without removing one of the fans. If there's something that I could do then help please!

I know I know, I should probably buy something decent like the P900 which I will do in a few months, but funds don't permit atm and I'd like to get a temporary solution in the meantime.
 
For your original question, grab a 3.5in to 5.25in drivebay convertor for your HDD and whack it into an empty optical slot. Theyre not expensive and in some cases it will increase airflow to your board (depending on the case ofc)
 
to be fair it dont look as bad as on jeantechs website in the flesh, looks okish.

I think the Antec 900 would be a better choice if your going for that kind of idea mate :)

Yeah it looks OK. It's just a pain to work with :o

Airflow is pretty good though.
