Didn't know too much in the electronics department so I went ahead and got myself a L.I.S 2 Premium VFD for a single drive bay. However, for some reason they decide to have the walls of this thing only go a tad halfway less in length than regular optical drives.
This poses a problem for those of us unable to use screws.

This picture shows the side of my case. In case you can't tell, the VFD is on the very bottom (you can slightly see the purple rail you would use to put these things in.

This shows it in the front of my case (it's still covered in the plastic just in case since my computer isn't fully done yet). Though it looks secure, it's still a little wiggly.

An obligatory horrible closeup

These show how far back the walls go, which shows you the kind of problem people without screws would get; it easily rocks without there being the second hole in the back to securely hold it.
To remedy this, of course, modding will have to be done *sigh*.
I can
-Drill a hole in the plastic drive rails, and in the unit, and bolting them togeather (creating 2 holes on each side)
or
-Drill through the metal where the screw hole is on the VFD. Which one is easier I don't know what, but I'm going to take my time on that so perhaps any ideas would be beneficial to my conundrum. =0)
