SPECS I have upgraded to full ram allowed and a different graphics card


So I'm adding a second SATA 7200RPM 1TB braccuda Hard drive to my pc. I knew the parts didn't come withthe drive but for some crazy reason I thought they where in my pc. Well there not I know I need to buy the power cord and interface cable however I don't see anything in the bay to hold the hard drive
There seems to be a cage that can be removed that holds the first drive. Although it looks like theres space it doesn't look like it has anything to hold the drive in place. Do I need a certain type of screw or what? Theres a bunch of "extra loose" cords labeled things like p8 these cord. I'm thinking these are power connection.

So what I need to know is
1.other then the power and interface cables what do I need?
2. are things like p3 a power connection
3. Where and how do I get this thing in there.
here are some bad photos if that helps

Your not kidding - that the best you could do?

But you have a drive in there.. so you can se whats needed?
From the (Bad) photos. looks like you just need some screws. to mount the drive in the cage...
Look at your current HDD cables to see what you nee and where they plug in.
See if you have a spare SATA power cable.. I cant see one.. so you may need one..
You seem have spare Molex so can get a converter.

It really isn't that difficult.. and you have google if you get stuck.
Cheers
