3.5" drive in 5.25" bay

[Evoluter]

I found a case I really like. The problem is that is only has one external 3.5". It has 4 5.25" external bays and I would only ever use 3. I was wondering how hard it is to put the 3.5" drive in my 5.25" bay?

Some cases come with ?extenders? They mount on the side of the drive and do exactly what you want.
Or you can buy a HDD cooler that mounts in a 5.25 bay and put the hdd in there

If it's an internal device, you can buy this:

I believe you're looking for something called a floppy drive mounting kit. (I was looking for the same thing last week.) Check at PriceWatch and you'll find several sites that have them. I ended up buying a couple at Fry's for $3.99 each.

just use drive rails or the mouting kits. they work fine

You can also use one of those cool looking Enermax temperature monitoring drive rack. I am using one myself, kind of useless in my case since I don't overclock very high, but hey, it makes my computer looks like it has two eyes....
