Cannot install HDD

[shirazyn]

I want to put a 3.5 HDD into my PC. Sadly, since I have a radiator, I had to take the drive cage out. Please help, this has been bothering me for many months.

 

I have a Corsair Spec-05

So what you are saying is you physically can't install the drive, as there is no space for it?

Based on that case, and assuming you have a 240mm AIO, you won't be able to get a 3.5" drive in there. You could double stick tape it to the floor of the case, and mount it upside down so you can actually plug the power and SATA cables into it, but I wouldn't' call that an elegant solution. SSD's you can chuck anywhere, harddrives are much more sensitive to movement, so if you do go the double stick tape route, I would use some thicker tape (the kind that has a thin bit of foam between the two sticky sides), and get decent coverage across the drive.

 

Like I said, not elegant, but still an option.

If the drive cage was smaller, I could install it.
