Antec P180 optical drive install question

Post by Stephen » Thu Feb 15, 2007 4:30 pm

I will be installing the optical drives in my P180 case this weekend - as part of finishing up my first build. INstalling the drives requires first installing rails on the drives. Of course, the case directions include absolutely no clue as to which holes in the rails you use, nor where to position the rails on the drives.

Is there anyone who has built a computer in this case who can give me some advice?

Mount the longer rails (short rails included are for a floppy drive) with the tab end angled away from the drive's front sides. Probably going to use the top frontmost set of holes on the drive so it will mount flush. Also you may want to mount the bottom 120mm fan in the front of the case as an intake...I just used this case for a build last week....Great case!!!
