| 319384 | 2005-01-30 06:49:00 | The only problem is that the case has only two spaces for the floppy and the HDD.Are you sure that is where the hard drive goes? It sounds like a spare floppy 3.5" bay. There should be a rack device that holds the hard drives either on the bottom front or base of case. It often just has the rails/brackets on each side with little edges facing inwards to balance the drive on. What is the model of your computer case? |

| 319387 | 2005-01-30 06:55:00 | Some motherboards have an onboard SPDIF/RCA connection. Some motherboards also have a connection on the mobo just for RCA SPDIF connection (its for sound). BUT if u get a soundcard, some cards will give u SPDIF optical ( - which is fast if u have something like a minidisk with optical in for recording sound ) and RCA in and out. |

| 319389 | 2005-01-30 07:12:00 | I will try and send a PXT of it (where I think that it will go). Can I put it up on the site with HTML or something? Or shall I send it to a pxt website, such as rate my pxt? | Tribomb (5547) | ||
| 319390 | 2005-01-30 09:25:00 | The model of the case is X-Sonic Black Cobra Mid Tower Case. I was trying to put just under the floppy. I was refering to my current PC as a guide and it looks like they have done that. I will try putting it down a bit, it is a really tight fit and seems to tight. I also dont think that the screws line up. | Tribomb (5547) | ||
| 319391 | 2005-01-30 09:32:00 | I also dont think that the screws line up.You just need to move the hard drive along until the screw holes in the drive align with some of the screw holes in the drive bay. You only need two screws on each side of the hard drive to hold it in place firmly. | Jen (38) | ||
| 319392 | 2005-01-30 10:08:00 | Ok, i think I have found where abouts you mean.. I am not entirely sure, but it fits.. Quite alot of it is sticking out the back (towards the motherboard) | Tribomb (5547) | ||
| 319393 | 2005-01-30 10:20:00 | You only need two screws on each side of the hard drive to hold it in place firmly. Very true... although The PC Company (out of business a couple of years ago) didn't seem to think so in some cases...Had a guy today who only had one screw holding the HDD in, he had never had the case open (so it wasn't him). The one screw had snapped off inside the drive and it fell down and the IDE cable came out. Moral: Don't use just one screw. |
