Antec SX1240 - Drive Rails?

I was wondering how many drive rails you get with this case? The specs say you get one set of drive rails, but I plan to fill every external bay up. CDROM, CDRW, DVDROM, 5.25" intake fan, Live! Bay, Asus iPanel, Floppy, LS-120. I was wondering if I get enough rails with the case to put all of that in there. Also, I will be putting in anywhere from 2-4 harddrives. Anyone know?

Visit the case here.

Thanks.
 
I always manage to forget one thing or another when I post 🙂 How would my floppy go in there? It looks like there is some form of bay cover that is there...would I just install my floppy behind that? Do I need a special floppy drive?
 
1 set of rails means 12 rails (6 5.25" drive bays). The floppy drive does not have to be special, you just have to line it up properly (which can be a pain).

Hard drives fit in the removable drive cages and do not need drive rails.

Apu's Hardware did a review on the Chenming ATX-901A a while back, there are pictures of the back of the case

correct me if I am wrong, but I heard they make the cases for Antec and others, such as the Chieftec DA-01W

that's a big case, 26" tall, hope you have room for it

EDIT: just discovered they are listing the sx1240 at Antec's site
 
I just bought this case from isitoday for $94.00 w/o power supply,
or $139.00 with a 300w power supply. antec wants $189.00 with 300w ps.
they were great to deal with,answered all emails with my many questions.
orderd on wednesday ups delivered today from West Chester Pa.
