Question for CM Stacker owners

[ezzye23]

Got a CM Stacker for this new system I'm building, but I am a little perplexed about something very simple. The included 5.25 drive brackets don't fit right on my drives.
I looked at the brackets on the coolermaster website on some technical file, and also some review sites and the brackets they show look different than mine. My brackets have 4 holes and also have 2 pegs in them. So I thought you would put the pegs in two holes on the drive and then use screws for the other two. However, when you do this the drive doesn't line up right in the tower and leaves too much space between itself and one of the black front panel covers. Hope I explained that right.
Anyway has anyone else experienced this, or did I receive some jacked up brackets with my case?
Sorry for the long post.

Thanks to anyone that helps

Mike

It's not exactly self-explanatory, and Coolermaster's always-excellent "english" is no help. I mounted the rails incorrectly at first, too. Most drives have several different holes on them; just keep plugging away until you find the right ones. If I remember correctly, the rails need to be mounted a bit higher than you'd think by looking at them.

What he said. You have to play with the plasitc adapters for a little and make sure you have the right and left sides matched up. It will fit, I had the same problem and it just required moving the black plastic side adapters up one hole on each side. Worked for me.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, it needs to be set higher on the drive. But the adapters have 2 pegs sticking out of them which keeps you from doing this. The only way I see to have the brackets in the right place is to put the pegs in the upper holes, but you then can't screw them in. I can't be the only one who's brackets are like this, or am I just not getting it?

Thanks

The pegs on the adapters go into the screw holes on the drive. There is no need to screw the adapters to the drive. When you put them into the case and lock them down they won't go anywhere.

Ok that's what I was wondering. So no need to screw them in at all.
Thanks Krypto

Correct, now if you WANT to once the drive is in it's bay you can screw it to the 5.25" bay like you would a regular drive but there really isn't any need to, if you have the adapters on right once you slide the drive into it's bay and lock it down it should not move, the drive will move however until all the locks on boths sides are locked down. Good luck.

Yeah, don't bother with the secondary screws unless your drive is vibrating, which shouldn't happen unless you've got an optical drive that's really out of whack.
