Hard Disk mounting

[David Moore]

Hi All,
I have a Mesh Computers PC which is pretty good. However, I want to put
one of my old hard disks into this new machine. Unfortunately, the Mesh PC
has 'clever' HD housing where the HDs simply slide in and are clipped in
rather than having to be screwed in directly. For this to work though, a
piece of 'rail' metal work is screwed directly onto the sides of the HD.
this lines up with the slots on the housing to allow the HD to slip and slip
in. My question is: Where can I get/buy some of these 'rail' to screw on to
my old HDs?.

I've tried Mesh but with no luck so far. I presume that they are standard
rather than a Mesh-special?.

Ta in advance,
Dave

It's often problematic with cases that you weird rail systems. At one time
Compaq used proprietory rails that could only be found from them at $25 a
set. I started making them out of wood after the first set.

Ya, I heard that was what Ben Franklin did too with his first hardware
installation

It seems each case manufacturer has their own design. If you can get a
look at cases like at CompUSA you might be able to match up some.

just rig it up where it lays flat and be done about it

I have 3 in one machine..they are stacked, laying on the bottom of the
case
attatched to nothing but the power and ide...

as well as 2 other machines done the same way..none of my CD/DVD drives
are mounted, they are just laying in the slot...

i mean...i don't tote my desktop pc around..it has no occasion to
move...
they've been spinning just fine going on 2 years on the 3 drive
machine...

bolster it in..with anything...
