Hi!

 

I have the Define R5 case and i'm planning on putting a 280mm radiator on the front by removing both drive bays. However, I have a HDD which obviously needs to be relocated. Where can I put the drive without the bays?

 


 


 

Thanks in advance for your help!

the 5 1/4" drive bay, a laptop hard drive and a couple of zip ties.

You can attach it to the bottom or where ever you have space. Just make sure it's attached well. Of course if you want minimal noise possible, it's gonna take a little more.

I think velcro would work well, but you should consider some kind of padding .
