    PC65-B, Need 3rd HD Slot! Help!

    Hey guys, I have a Lian Li PC-65B, and I want to install a 3rd HD. Problem is, that there isn't any room left for it. I do have 2 5.25" bays open, and I was wondering if there is a converter I can buy to go from a 5.25 -> HD bay. Any suggestions?

    I'm still convinced you could fit 5 HDD's down there in the bottom cage.

    lol. it doesn't work. if you put the HDs in backwards, and have the IDE connections facing the fans, maybe. the ridges don't line up right...at least i don't think. i don't feel like trying. i'm probably wrong or something, as usual

    Either put it in the bottom, I see four spaces for HDDS, or the brackets that you need should have come with the drive. They are pretty standard.
