[SOLVED] What to do/what to get if I'm missing hard drive rails for a specific PC case?

[ofido]

Hey, I want to add more storage to my PC but I found out I'm missing the drive rails/bracket to mount a 3.5 drive in my Antec NX300 case. If I'll get some drive rails from Amazon would they fit my case? Or do I need to find something specific?

They're trays. Why did you take them out? LoL Did you check the box the case came in?

You can contact Antec, I don't see any for sale. https://www.antec.com/support

You need a specific rail, different 3.5" mount designs are dime a dozen. Call me nuts but I prefer the metal rail that you screw into unless there's a specific need for easy swap.

If you can find some of those plastic rails lying around, you can try. Dimensions wise, it should fit. No guarantee if the rail will slide into the tray mounts though.

Well, I didn't take them out by choice... I got the PC as a gift so they never came with it.

Got it. Thank you

Not to be captain obvious but did you look inside the PSU cover spot that is the original spot.
