Antec NSK3300 / NSK3400 / NSK3480 Hard Drive HDD Mount

Post by blacklit » Fri Jul 23, 2010 2:52 pm

to date, i've not found an acceptable solution out there to mount more drives to this case. there's more than one way to do this but here's a clean and simple suggestion with NO case tampering or modification required--for those who don't have the tools, time, or patience. this method allowed me to install: 2x SSD's in RAID0 (w/ room to spare for 4x SSD's) and 3x 2TB WD Black in RAID5.

questions, comments, concerns, just let me know ~


parts needed (easy finds):
- scythe kaze-jyu 100mm fan
- zip ties
- hard drive grommets

optional:
- nexus doubletwin (for 2nd hard drive)
- silverstone SDP08 (for 2.5" drives)
** there are others but the SDP08 exactly duplicates all mounting holes of a standard 3.5" drive


Parts Needed:

Scythe Kaze-Jyu 100mm Fan..
