So I was inspired to mod a NES into a HTPC by a front page item awhile ago. Well I have everything in the case, however the one issue I have is that I really haven't mounted my SSD to anything. I just have it lying on the bottom. With the cables I have literally just pushed into the same area the SDD doesn't seem to shift to much, but I can see a problem if I would ever turn the system upside down.

Any suggestions how to mount/secure my SSD inside the bottom of my NES?

A friend suggested superglue...but I'd like other opinions as well :p
 
it wouldnt be that hard to drill a couple holes and screw it in from the bottom, but if you want something easier you could always just do velcro or poly lock, that would hold it fine
 
I'd rather not have some "sticky" substance on the SDD if I ever decide to use it somewhere else....
 
You could screw it to some 3.5 to 2.5 adapter rails (which should have come with the SSD) and then Velcro or double stick tape the rails to the case.

I use those 3M mounting squares. They hold nicely and remove cleanly. Not the best if you plan on removing your SSD all the time. But if you're going to leave it be, then they're great.
 
Hmm, looks like those strips could work. I don't plan on removing the SSD often or at all. Just want to still have to option to use it again if need arises.
 
If you have a 3.5 bay available this is perfect and cost $9
