Hey guys I need a little help. I got my hands on a Cooler Master Elite 120 and decided to add a closed loop H80 water cooler. In order to fit the bugger in the case I had to remove the Hdd Cage, pretty simple just 5 rivets needed to be screwed out. The h80 actually fits quite nicely in there with the two 120mm fans (still testing as of right now to see if I actually need the push pull config). The problem I am running into is that I have a 3.5 " 3tb drive and a 80bg 2.5 ssd and still want optical. Luckily I have a bluray slim drive so I was wondering if anyone out there knew where to get a slim to 5.25 bay adapter with 2 2.5" drive mounts as well?

I have found this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812186187
but it only has one 2.5" (was thinking on ssd raid 0 in the future )
Also the usb 3 header is kind of useless as the case has front usb 3 ports.

or this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816133054
which has the space for 4 2.5's or 1 3.4 and 2 2.5's.

I was thinking I could mount the 3.5 to the bottom of the 5.25 tray that is left (need to cut off the metal lip that is left after the cage removal, So in essence just need the slim dvd and 2 2.5" mounts.

I do not really have any spare sheet metal or I think I could rig something together.


Thanks Guys

EDIT: And according to Lian Li, you can fit 2x 2.5" drives under the slim ODD. Not sure if you need to purchase a 3.5" to 2x 2.5" adapter or not?
 
Hey guys thanks for the help. I was browsing frys last night and found this http://www.frys.com/product/6167769?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG pretty much the same an the lian li one for $13. Turns out in the Elite 120 if you do the 3.5 under the slot load player, then there is just enough room in the case to have a 2.5 ssd on top on the optical drive and still get the case on. So I lucked out there and now the case is way cleaner.
