I have dual hardrives one 36.7 GB 10,000 Rpm dirve and a 120 Gb slave drive with programs still on it.


The one problem is I have 2 ports open for 2 more HD but I have no room, is there anyway I can mount a new hardrive on or in there or set it on something...

Technically I have one slot open but I might put a floppy in there too...
 
Depends on the case is correct, but I know that at CompUSA I have seen 3.5" Bay Extention kits.

Basiclly it is just an extra drive bay that mounts onto your current drive cage.
 
Can you post a pic of your case or a link to a similar one? It would be easier to help you...
 
well if you dont mind you can mount it in the drive bays where the cd/dvd drives normally go. Thats what i did, i just mounted one side of the hard drive normally and got 2 blocks of styrafoam to hold the other side up.
 
According to the case specs you have 7 drive slots.
So.........
2x HDD's.
1x Floppy/
1x Zip.
1x/2x Cd/Dvd ?

You will still have 1 or 2 5-1/4" bays free.
Just get a 3-1/2" to 5-1/4" rail kit.

Luck....... :D

Yea, you can buy the actual bracket that you can mount the HDD in. I actually found one inside an old 386. If your looking to save coin and know of some old computers, check em' out and you might find treasure. Mine had a 40mb WD HDD mounted in it. :);)
