I've got 2 7200rpm HDDs and a floppy in my 3.5 bays filled up, so there must be massive heat generating in there. I'm looking to maybe moving the middle hdd in the 3.5 bay into one of the empty 5.25 bays under my DVD drive. However, since the Enlight doesn't uses slides instead of screws to mount the drives, will mounting the hdd there with the slides make it vibrate? I hear its bad for the hdd to vibrate during operation. Where else can I put the hdd then? LMK what you guys do...thanks!

It shouldn't...I have my drives in the 5.25 slots and haven't noticed vibration. I now have them inclosed in hard drive coolers, but I had them in there using just rails and a 3.5-5.25 adapter kit and no problems.

I know some cases have a place on the power supply for putting hard drives...but I don't think the Enlight 7237 does...

so just putting the hdd on 3.5->5.25 mounts and rails should work fine without vibration right? cool, i was worried about that cause i remember reading a review about someone saying that this was a drawback of the Enlight 7237.
