Thanks, i have only 2 screws in my vertical HD, so this new horizontal installation should be even better.SNGX1275 said:Yes it will physically fit. There should be holes that will line up with the hard drive too, but if there aren't make (drill) your own. Nearly all cases use aluminum to hold the drives so its easy to drill or punch.
Actually though, at least 2 of the holes will line up (1 on each side) and thats all you need anyway.
Perhaps I'm just getting lucky then. I've never spent much on a case, and every case I've had has alumninum drive holders. The external casing has been steel on a few, but not where the drives are held. In fact just recently I bought a Spire case for $22 on newegg to build and that was entirely alumninum (also about as thick as heavy aluminum foil - felt like a stiff breeze would crumple it). Also just scrapped an old HP system from around 98 (pent 2 300) and the actual case itself (after all the plastic crap removed) was alumninum.rik said:A vast ammount of cases are made of mild steel, very few use aluminium unless you spend quite a lot!!!!!
