5.25-in DVD drive cage?

[Engr62]

I purchased a used system a while back that was installed in a Rosewill RISE case. The original owner must have removed the 5.25-in. drive cage (where one would mount a DVD drive for example) in order to have room to install the motherboard--it's an E-ATX motherboard, so it's bigger than an normal ATX motherboard. I've tried contacting the original owner to see if he still has it, but have not made contact yet.

I purchased a blu-ray drive to install in this computer, but I have no way of mounting it now. Does anyone know where I could get a 5.25-in. drive cage to install in this case? I've not found an aftermarket supplier, and my direct e-mail contact with Rosewill turned up nothing (they merely pointed me to their adapters on Newegg... plenty of 3.5-in. to 5.25-in. adapters, but not the 5.25-in. cage itself).

A new case costs $90 on Newegg, so I can't afford to buy a whole new case just to get the cage. I thought about buying a cheap case to replace this one (Newegg had the Deepcool Tesseract on sale for $27 yesterday), but this motherboard has an E-ATX form factor, so it looks like cheap cases are not an option.

Any help is gratefully appreciated.

Have you tried contacting Newegg to see if they have any spares lying around, or are able to procure the cage specifically as a spare part?

try newegg, they usually have spare parts on hand.

Thanks for the tips. I just sent Newegg an e-mail. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I've e-mailed Rosewill again (with a picture) and Newegg.

If that doesn't work out, maybe I can get one from someone on the forums from an old case they aren't using--that is, if it isn't riveted in. I could do some small modifications (drilling holes and such). So, if anyone has one available (especially if it is black) they can let go for a fair price, let me know. Thanks.
