I have an antec SOHO case (the case that alienware uses for their computers) i'm trying to put a cdrom drive in the case, and i can't figure out how to do it. I know i have to put those mounting clips on. So, does the the drive slide in from the front?(this is what i've been trying to do, and it wont go in all the way) so, i'm guessing that it has to come in from the back. Please let me know how to put it in, i know this is a stupid question, but if it has to go in from the back i have to take out my MOBO to get it in.

this is so annoying, i put together a comp, install everything, and i get hung up on putting a drive in my case, lol =)
 
this may sound silly but most cases have small tabs sticking out to support the drive. It may be catching on one of these . OR it could be that it is deeper than normal and eill only fit in the top slots so it dosent interfere with the dimm slots etc.

I aint signing nothing!!!
