Mounting hard disks in my TJ07

reflux · 19 Jan 2010 at 16:12

I bought my TJ07 second hand about six months ago and there's literally nowhere to mount any hard disks. Since I got it, I've had the HDDs lose in the bottom of the case which is OK but not ideal.

I bought some of these:

...intending to mount the disks in the 5.25'' bays but the drive bay covers get in the way.

Does anyone have any ideas how I could mount the disks?

How many drives ?

TJ07s' are massive plenty of room.

You could use the linked adapters and mount them vertically in the front bays by just using 1 set of bolts, for instance.

Just two; an SSD with a 3.5'' mouting kit and a standard SATA kit. I don't want to do any drilling or modding (no tools). I tried putting them in vertically but it doesn't give enough room for SATA data/power

By the sounds of it you would have been better off with Scythe HDD Stabalizers.

This is what i did, ghetto, but worked better than any aftermarket silencers;

Or the Scythes, as Deadman has linked to, will do the job.

Thanks for your input guys - the Scythe bits look great.
