Coolermaster Drive Rails

I shot CM an email asking where, unsure if they offer them sepreatly or will send you a couple to be nice. The case probably came with 6, but I'm away from home and don't have access to my bucket of parts. I have a HD I want to install but no way to mount it in this case without the rails, or some sort of 5 1/4 converter that will let me mount a HD in a regular bay. I have neither.

not sure how long CM takes to respond to emails so I thought I'd ask here.

I've never gotten a reply to an eMail from C-M. Have to phone them...

thanks guess I'll call them, worst thing that happens I'm on hold for a few minutes and they can't help me. Who knows, they might send me a couple free. If not guess I'm off to find a cheap 3 1/2 -> 5 1/4 mount thing.

wow CM emailed me yesterday, a few hours after I emailed them. but they're asking for the invoice from when I bought it, I never keep those kinds of things hehe. Anyone want to recommend a cheap but decent 3 1/2 -> 5 1/4 drive cage. I don't need fans or anything fancy, just want to toss my 200 gigger in my case. Until I have the rest of the parts to start my TJ07 water built

Here are some mobile racks at not much more $$s than a bay adapter:

I have also used two stacks of Popsickle sticks and some flat-headed, 6-32 screws as a substitute for OEM rails... I've got a C-M Mystique 631 and if I wasn't trying to sell it, I'd send you a couple - assuming your case is one of the Centurion type and uses the same rail.

Places like Fry's and Best buy typically have the cheapy two piece u-shaped steel adapter for 5-7 bucks, gets the job done. Besides that, I use a lot of thermalake iCage's for just about any time I'm mounting hard drives somewhere. $15 plus a couple bucks shipping and it's three hard drives in three 5.25"bays with a fan.
