Thermaltake Core P5 - fitting SSD drive without enclosure?

[Jed Shields]

Hi guys and gals,

I'm switching my main rig over to a Thermaltake Core P5 case and have fitted an SSD drive to the front, just right of the motherboard, using one of the hard drive enclosures. I've noticed a few pics online where people have fitted their SSD drives withou the enclosure and it looks much better, far less clutter. Any ideas on how they've attached it? My Crucial SSD has fixing screw holes on the front, nothing on the back, but the pics I've seen show the front facing out, so they can't be attached by screw. I'm toying with the idea of using velcro strips...

Cheers,

Jed

you can mount the SSD on the back of the case using the HDD drive bays. on the front it looks like just a screw holding the SSD in place, maybe a rubber washer on each screw hole.
if you scroll down on this review you will see that its just installed via extra screws in the case.. i would use rubber washers to minimize noise
