Can the Corsair 450D support a CD drive? It says it can but the one I have doesn't fit. Here is the link http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=3_61&item_id=065425

 

It could be that this CD drive is too wide but I'm not sure. I couldn't seem to fit it in the case so that could be the answer.

 

Does anyone know if it can support a CD drive? Please tell me if this one is too large, I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

if it has a 5.25" bay yes

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

It can but it ruins the brushed look since it has an extra wide front panel on it personally I'd get a external one for aesthetics.

Yeah but see this looks like a much thinner CD drive than the one I'm using. I can clearly see the edges where the drive cuts off.

Push the front Cover from the back and just slide the thing in there

They're all standard sized for CD/DVD drives, you put it in from the front of the case once you have the cover off, and it should just snap into place.

Okay this may sound stupid lol, but I was trying to install it from the inside to the front not out to in. Thanks for the help, I don't have much experience installing CD drives.

I did that my first time as well in an Antec 900 :P

 

I made it work. Broke the bay and the optical drive in the process. But it fit.
