I see what you mean. So there were no brackets supplied. With either the case or the HDD?

You can put it in the bay with the floppy drive fine.

[Arden]

nope no brackets.... so no problems i should be aware of about puting it next to the flopy?

[isunktheship]

no. thats where i put mine before i bought a case with brackets. btw you have a floppy permenantly installed? I only attatch it when i'm messing with the BIOS(updates), but thats usually a one time deal, then I never use it again.

[SgtM]

You should be able to screw the HDD in the area I highlighted.

[Arden]

thats what i thought but my hd screw holes dont line up! im just putin' it next to the floppy...

OFF TOPIC/DONT WANT TO CLUTTER FORUM WITH NEW THREAD:

Do I need to buy like a surge protector or something? is there anything i should consider buying?

[AKA_RA]

surge protector is a must. UPS(look it up on newegg for explaination if you need) is another good thing to have but not needed nearly as much.
