I was going to buy a new HDD, but then I came to realise that I don't have any extra drive rails. I've looked around places like NCIX, and asked a couple people around my area.. But they can't say they know where to get them.

Can you even buy them?
 
You can buy em online for like 3 bucks a pair. Local computer stores usually have them too.
 
well drives are meant to fit into 3 1/2" bays, so the rails just screw to the drive to make them fit into 5 1/4 bays

unless of course the case employs a direct connection or a removable drive cage
there are a few systems of drive rails as well, all depends on the case

Wow, I haven't played around with a case that required drive rails in a while. What case did you buy? Let us know so we make sure we don't pick it up...
 
I don't think the case really has a name, got it from my first computer which was from a Seanix sub-company called Cicero.
