I currently own a CM 690 and do not have any mounting brackets or screws for my new Samsung 840 Pro (2.5" SSD).

In a flurry of what can only be described as zealous fervor-filled excitement, I scotch taped the SSD to a open drive bay, plugged that sucker up and installed Windows 8.

...I feel a little ashamed of that.

Anyways, For the long run I want to properly install my SSD with the mounting brackets / something more conventional and safe.
I will not have to concern myself with the CM690 as I will soon be recieving my new CM Storm Stryker Case...


Question: Does the Cooler Master Storm Styker come with drive bays pre-configured for 2.5" drives or should I just order some mounting brackets + screws now before my new case comes in?

Cool beans, I guess I just got nervous looking at the stat sheet by itself without running it past someone else - wanted some peace of mind :)

Looks like the 3 drives bays at the bottom should work.
Or I could use the XDrive and plug it in floppy disk-style :sneaky:

Think it's just my "need-it-now" anxiety/attitude.
As soon as that new case comes in I'm going to want everything I need to set it up and really not looking forward to any lead times of shipping for mounting brackets when I'm staring at all the other yummy $1500+ of comp parts.

Patience is a virtue I need to learn to embrace.... Just not now :D

SSD's are light enough to just mount on one side of the bay with two screws.

No doubt you should be ashamed! You should have used duct tape!
