3.5" Drive Cages?

Go to solution Solved by alpenwasser,

You can order spare parts from Fractal Design in their spare parts

center. I'm not sure to where they ship, but it might be worth a look.

You might also be able to source spare parts from other case

manufacturers, possibly Corsair. Would probably need to contact

them and ask.

EDIT:

Moved to case modding, the people in that section would

probably know more about this.

Hey,

 

I'm building my own case mainly out of wood at the moment, and I was wondering if there are any 3.5" drivebays left on the market?
I've been exhausting dr google for the last 1.5 hours trying to source a drive cage that would fit inside a computer so I can continue designing the case with the specs involved.

I'm looking for a hdd/ssd drive rack that can fit around 4x 3.5" hdd/ssd.
I saw one that came included with a fan and blah but I was wondering if there are any that just came like the ones inside a normal computer case?

 

Hope someone here knows of some :)

Unless you can scrap it from a case I can't find it either so make one yourself.

@big.me

You can also post in the Classifieds here, saying your wanting to buy one.

I know a lot of people take them out ASAP, so you can probably get one for shipping costs, and a few bucks more.
