Putting hard drives in 3.25in bay?

[w0rmh0lez]

I don't know if I worded this question right but I'm asking how to put hard drives in a DVD drive bay? I'm water cooling my PC and I had to remove my drive cage to make room for a larger radiator. However I have lots of DVD slots and am not putting and DVDs.

You get an adapter plate. Such as this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0VE-000W-00007

There are plenty of 5.25" to 3.25" adapters. You can even buy one that fits a 3.25" drive and a pair of 2.25" drives. just look on amazon or newegg.

You can buy adapters to use hard drives in the 5.25" bays. Some will allow you to use, say, 4 hard drives in 3 5.25" bays.

DVD drives are 5.25", not 3.5". There are brackets out that allow you to put a 3.5" hard drive into a 5.25" bay like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817984025
