3.5 -> 5.25"

[CoRPS]

I'm not sure where this should go, but I figured this would be the best spot.. Where can I find a 3.5" to 5.25" drive converter? I'd like to install my servers HDD"s in the 5.25" drive bays.

Thanks for any information.

many of the retail hard drives I have purchased in the past came with adapter rails.
Examples at ebay

All the posts above are for 2.5" drives - did a little poking around and found this - $10 shipped. I was looking to do something similar with a spare hard drive, and this is about as cheap as it gets.

Doh. Sorry I didnt look close enough. They are just U-shaped metal rails either way.
How many do you need?

If you're buying more than one, get 'em here.

You should be able to get at least a few of them all for one shipping cost. I've used 'em before, and they're good to use. Nice place to find some of the little things you might need for building computers.

Oh yeah, and you need one set (2 brackets) for each hard drive. They should come with screws to hold them onto the sides of the hard drive.

compusa has them as well.
