Hey there, steli01.

I'm not really familiar with that case, but in most situation the only thing you need are the mounting screws if you have the necessary drive bay (e.g. 2.5" or 3.5").
I'd recommend that you refer to the case's User Manual for more information. You should be able to find the how-to guide on mounting drives inside the case.

Hope that helps.

It's always best to try to google what you are looking for before asking simple questions. Here's your case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811815004, it looks like you should just be able to put a couple screws in the drives and call it good.

3.5" drives do not require any screws (unless you want to install them in 5.25" drive bay).

Unfortunately there are no specialized space for 2.5" drives.
So if you want to install some of those, you'll need 2.5->3.5 drive adapter.

so If I want a hdd western digital 1tb sata 3 I don't need any drive adapter or something?

According to the pictures of the case you should be good to go without any additional props. Here's a video on how to install an internal drive, which might prove useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHxZN_NSiRI (note that in your case you won't have those self-locking drive mounts)

All drive bays bays in that cabinet are "tool-free" (provided you fit the correct size drive in each designated bay):

The case manufacturer's own website (as per link above) is always a good source of information when you need it.
