    Hi all,

    Anyone know where I can get brackets for installing 2 new hard disks inside my case? Are there generic plastic brackets your can just screw into the sides of internal hard disks to mount them in cases? Hope this makes sense. Right now I have 2 extras drives inside my case sitting on top of each other:eek:, I know this cannot be a good idea! I'd rather have them mounted with some kind of brackets and a bit of space between them :D

    Thx

    information about what case you have would be nice. Also a picture of the inside of your case would be better.

    Cheers extra-ordinary, any chance of a piccy:) I am literally just looking for the 2 strips of plastic you can get to attach to the sides of drives to slot them into my case.

    If it's just drive rails you're looking for, then as been said - case info is necessary.

    Ah ha, thats what they're called 'drive rails', thanks extra-ordinary :) Sorry I'm a bit of a n00b at this sort of stuff.

    The case is...

    These are the kind of things I need I think http://www.powerbrixx.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=427
    I had them in an old case and they worked well by holding the drives in place...
