Case Modding...Adding a HDD cage

[Skoodog]

I have an old ghetto case that I've been updating lately to prepare for some mild/serious overclocking. I have an old hd I'd like to put in but currently I have a Vantec HDD cooler on my main hd and it's taking up extra room so that adding an additional hd would mess with it's airflow. My case is shorter than usual so I don't have clearance for a full sized HD cage (like the ones in taller cases like the Chenmings, etc.) AND for the intake fan I have installed below. Is there a half-size HD cage and can I install it easily under the other one while still having clearance for the intake? Please inform.

Sounds like you may have to fabricate something, hard to idealize what you need without any images to rely upon.

There is a hard drive cage Here @ PC Power & Cooling for $5 which isn't bad, not sure how it would mount in your case but I'm sure you could modify it in some way.

id just buy a chenming, but i know how its like to be cheap too hot glue is your friend glue or tape to the bottom of case. if you feel nutz you can drill holes for mounts. most drives have bottom screw holes i think. i have one of each. one chenming, and one pos case modded to usability

Pretty expensive for a couple sheets of metal with holes in it
