    Hey.

    I was just trying to install an OCZ Vertex 2 120GB 3.5" SSD into a fractal design case and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to do it. Theres holes on the bottom sides of the SSD that look like there for screws but they have no threads. It has side holes with threads but my case doesnt support side mounted stuff. Why are there no threads in the underside holes on the SSD?

    I know im missing something very simple here (ive been up for 28 hours now....long story) but what is it?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Yeah in fairness to them you could even leave it outside the case if you wanted to. As long as there wasn't a strong wind to blow it away.

    God bless the (expensive) future! :D
