Okay, right now I'm feeling kind of stupid. I was moving my DVD burner over to my new case (which looks amazing, by the way. Best case I've ever owned, though that's not saying a whole lot), so I attached the drive rails, and was ready to slide it into the case. Unfortunately, I wasn't quite sure exactly how I was supposed to do that. Should I slide it in from the front of my case (as I did with my old case), or put it in from the interior, even though the top 120mm fan blocks where I need to slide it in? I tried it from the interior first, since it had the mounting hardware on it, but that didn't work. I couldn't find where I was supposed to slide it, and it just seemed like I was doing it wrong. Then, I tried sliding it in from the front, and got it almost all the way in, even with one of the metal tabs on the drive rail snapped over the metal tab at the back of the drive cage. Unfortunately, I can't get the other one to do the same (after which I'd hopefully be able to slide the drive all the way into the case, so I would be able to close the case door), and I'm not sure exactly what to do. Any hints/experiences you guys have had with this case would be much appreciated. Thanks.
 
i have an aspire navigator case but i think the rails are the same. sometimes you have to take it out and try a couple of times to get it to line up.

The rails should be like that on both sides with the tabs facing outwards. Then just push the drive in from the front and it will click into place.
 
I actually got it fixed. Well, now at least I know what to do. Great case.


EDIT: Well, I now actually saw the picture. Now I feel silly.
