No place to screw in DVD drive

dbuk2000 · Jan 4, 2014

Hi

In my new antec mid tower case there are no screws to mount my DVD drive. Just big gaps way too big for screws.

Also the dive is a bit too long for the case so it juts out.

Is there a way I can upload pics to show what I mean.

Has anyone encountered anything like this before that can help?

Thanks

Post the model of Antec case....

More than likely, you will attach some "rails" to the sides of the DVD drive, they come with the case. Then slide it into place. Very unlikely your DVD won't fit, but, list the make & model and we'll take a look to be sure...

There are rails, they are just "hidden" on the back of the plastic panels that you remove to install a 5 1/4" DVD drive

just pop those off. Then screw one to each side to the DVD drive. Then slide and snap it into place....
