Stretch magic & suspension - what am I doing wrong?
I've been lurking on this forum long enough and I figured I'd give hard drive suspension a try.
I got some 1mm stretch magic and tried to suspend my 3.5" drives in my 5.25" bays. The thing is, I can never seem to get the strech magic tight enough, the drive always seems to sag. The one time I did get it tight enough, one of the loops I had snapped, sending my poor Maxtor flying (let's hope it still works).
So what am I doing wrong? Is it as easy as I thought or is there more to this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Success!
I finally got some thicker stretch magic, it really makes all the difference.
Here are the results:
I can't believe how much easier it was with the thicker stuff. Thanks again for the help guys!
