My folded pillow cover that i use as a wrist rest, it works well though.

I run my own indie game company called Color Dragon Studios where we are currently making a 2d platformer game called Small Earth.

I think the best part about an SSD apart from the speed is that they don't care how you mount it. mine is held in with a twist tie and it doesn't matter at all. anyone have any rachet Video card or CPU solutions?

maybe some rachet cooling solutions on a laptop?

lol, my whole motherboard hangs in here with tape (and cardboard behind it for conductivity) :D

the drives are outside of my case

its not a permanent solution, kinda in the design phase of my mod

 
edit: do i win?

 

 

wtf, I think if you just threw it in a bucket you would have a tidier solution or why not just put it on the floor

short answer: yes

Oh god he said rachet....that's a term the freshman girls use in my school.

 

I'm still trying to figure out how to pronounce it, rat chet, ray chet, ray shay, intel....I just can't figure it out

I once had a Raid array of laptop drives zip tied into the 5.25 inch bays. 

 

I thought it was an expectation that you tape down your SSD. congratulations my friend. you have discovered the truth of SSD mounting. my SSD deserves only the best in tape.

 

Expectation LOL...

Like the tool. As it is spelled. Nothing special. Alternatively pronounced like AMD

From a broken external HDD took its bay off, cut a bit, and put it inside my pc bc of the antivibration rings (had to do this bc they didn't fit in the case's bay's holes)...

I used to sellotape my mouse cable to the desk to use as an anchor as real ones are hard to find.

 

I also used paper sellotaped to the desk as a mouse mat for a good few months before actually getting a proper mat. My desk is glass so it wouldn't track without.

I've 'braided' all my fan cables with electrical tape. The SSD is crammed behind the motherboard tray that really isn't large enough, I have to lay on the thing and slide across it to close the back panel.
