My new Chenming 601 case arrived today. Nice big case. But what are those things on the floor of the case. No instructions or documentation of any kind came with this thing so I have no idea. There's 8 plastic doohickey's that have a metal tab on them and they slide into a clip of some sort. :confused:
 
I assume you are talking about these:

Those are drive rails for your 5.25 drives.

Some cases, use two thin rails that are mounted to the drive, and then used to slide the drive into the drive bay. If your cases uses these, select two matching rails, one for either side of the drive. Place the drive into the bay without the rails first, to allow you to visualize where the rails need to mount onto the drive so that once inserted, the drive will line up correctly with the front of the case. Attach the rails to either side of the drive, using two screws per rail. Then slide the drive into the bay. Verify that the front of the drive lines up correctly. Some drive rail cases have spring-loaded clips on the front that snap into place when the drive is inserted all the way (mostly newer cases). Others require you to screw the drive into the bay anyway, using holes in the front of the drive bay. Either way, make sure the drive is not free to move around when you are done.

So just screw the clip into your cd-rom and then slide it in the case, if you noticed your case should have some indentation where the edge of the drive goes in; on the front of the case, this is so you can un-clip the drive once its installed. It means you dont have to unscrew your drive to remove it, just unclip it and pull it out.

Hope this helps you
 
Rip em off the bottom of the case, along with the things that hold em down.

Screw onto the side of your cdrom/optical drives

slide in the front of case, and your set to wire them up.

i have a 601 black w/full window and love it.


my next case will probably be a Lian Li or Cooler Master though :D
 
Thanks. I feel a little stupid about it but it's the first time I've seen it.
