Hi everyone , I am planning to upgrade my system so I am purchasing Coolermaster Elite 431+ Cabinate with a NZXT Sentry touch 2 bay fan controller .

The main problem is that the Cabinate has only Three 5.25 Inch bay in which 2 5.25 inch bays are required by the Fan controller and as we know that the 3rd 5.25 inch bay is aquired by coolermaster's pre-installed SATA X DOCK to insert HDD without opening the Cabinate .

Now all 3 bays are aquired so i don't have any space to install my CD/DVD Rom .

Can we remove that pre-installed SATA X DOCK to make some room for my CD/DVD Rom ? or its fixed permanent ?

Please Reply .

Is this the fan controller?

And this the case?

If so, I don't see the fan controller taking up more than 1 bay. And the case's SATA dock appears to be a 3 1/2" device in a 5 1/4" adapter. Can you move it to the 3 1/2" bay?


That's not my fan controller , My fan controller is - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

I am not sure that i can move the SATA X Dock to 3.5 inch bays ... I could do that then my problem would be solved . Still Thanks for Reply

Unfortunately you can't move the SATA X Dock to a 3.5" bay :/  However, if you're not planning on using it, you can remove it and install the dvd rom drive there.

Personally I would just leave it as it is. I mean, CD/DVD Roms are not that necessary nowadays :D
