Thermaltake Armor - removing the floppy drive bay?

[wraith3k]

Does anyone know how to remove the floppy drive bay (at the top, the one that also has the power button) on the Thermaltake Armor? All reviews I've read indicate that it can be removed and moved to another slot. There are no screws holding it in and I've made sure the clip on the side isn't in place.

I had the Kandalf LCS, which is basically the same thing

I believe you just undo the clips on the side, then slide it out toward the FRONT of the case. It should slide out just like a 5 1/4" device. If it doesn't slide easily, check to make sure there aren't any wires stuck.

No good unfortunately. It acts like there's some metal bumping into other metal, but I can't see anything that would cause it to not want to budge. Originally what I did was move it back towards the inside of the case, about half an inch, which is when it suddenly snapped into place and has been stuck since. It only moves a few millimeters in each direction. I might have to take off the whole front panel of the case.

Thanks for the suggestions, but it seems like removing the front panel was the answer. I unscrewed and removed it and was then able to shift the bay back into place. I think this is a design flaw with the case, with the way something can be moved towards the inside of the case and then get stuck.
