Hey guys,

Wondering if anyone had any tips on installing an ssd on the lian li 011 backplate (5-6-7):

The problem that im having is that the ssd lays pretty flat and close to the metal of the backplate so its really hard to plug in sata power, not enough clearance.

Do I need to get thinner sata cables?

Do you think I can put my ssd's on stands to rise them a bit or will there not be any clearance to re install the ssd back panel?

OOOORRRR

any other ideas :)

let me know what you think, thanks
 
On the Dynamic, I have a similar issue, the SSD is flat against the tray. It is a little difficult to get the SATA cable in, but it works. I didn't do any mods.
 
Fiddle it a lot. It's a pain in the ass but you can. I eventually gave up and hung them by the cables :p
 
Ah thanks guys, I ended up just not using the back panel and having the ssd's sit ontop of psu.

I plan on printing this to keep it looking nice: 3d printed duel ssd holder

Also I think it makes working on the pc easier since when you open the back panel you dont have your drives connected to the panel strip that you need to take out.
 
Oh also, I just came across this:

I do have a spare bottom pci bay available, I might just stick that in.
