Hey, I'm hoping someone can help me out with a small problem, I have this case http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/108-apollo-case.html

It has some "screwless rail design", that is kind of similar to a hotswap system, I'm using two slots at the moment, I have a 500GB and 1TB hard drive, and I just bought (in the mail) this 240GB SSD http://www.amazon.com/PNY-Optima-240GB-2-5-Inch-SOLID/d..., I'm completely clueless as to what bracket I need to buy to make this 2.5" SSD fit into this 3.5" drive bay, that also has to have these rails screwed on as well.

I have looked at these three brackets all day.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001UZQWG/ref=ox_sc_a...

I still don't know if any of these are better than the other or if any of them will work in the first place. If anyone has any experience with this case or this drive bay system, I'd really appreciate the help!

The first one (the Sabrent) will allow you to use 2 2.5" drives in one 3.5" bay. The other two are for mounting a 3.5" drive in a 5.25" bay, which is not what you are asking about.

The Sabrent bracket should fit in the rails of the 3.5" bay, just like any other 3.5" drive.
