Level 10 GT hot swap bays

[stuckinasquare3]

Does anyone own one of these cases? I just got mine and noticed that the SATA connections in the back aren't very snug and they come out rather easy. Different cables seemed to do a better job of staying put than others. The top two drives I use an L-shaped SATA cable for and those seem to fit pretty decent. The bottom three however, can't really use L-shaped cables because the cable has to go back up so I tried regular SATA cables however they're very loose. Does anyone have any good solutions for keeping the SATA cables secure so they don't just pop right out?

Use sata cables with clips, they should hold nicely http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1...Cable_-_30cm_-_Black_BFA-MSC-SATA30KK-RP.html

Hot glue?

Already using those. There's nothing to clip onto though =(

Do people actually do this? Is it safe?

Those are the same cable just different lengths.

I've encountered that before, with my Asus P6T motherboard. Irritating.

Hot glue? Yes, safe, and yes people do this. If I had to ship a system to someone who wouldn't be technically inclined to reattach cables, I would do that.

I'll give it a shot when I get home
