I have an enermax chakra case (piece of sh*t), the only way to mount HDD's in it is their stupid tool-less rails that clip into the holes in the hdd. I cant find my case accessories as they have been packed away somewhere in my mums garage. how can i mount my hdd in the bay? the bay can hold 3 drives and i have 2 in it already. there is no way to screw them in as that was option 1. i was thinking trying to make some sort of string hdd "hammock" and then blue-tacking it so it would stay in place, or fork out some cash for 5.25" to 3.5" Hard Drive Mounting Bracket. i dont really want to spend anything on this but i might have to. is the hammock idea viable?

the drives will be mounted rather snugly as you can see in this pic that i pinched off some website


i dont move my case around so im not worried about the hdd moving around. Or i could be boring and grab some converters
OPINIONS!
 
hey wow! thats awesome Danny Bui! i was thinking of weaving some string through the drive bay to make the hammock, but im not too sure how i could secure it, it will be snug with the drive on top of it, but i will need to prevent back and forth movement. ill figure something out
