Where can I put 3.5'' HDDs?

[emilsmazais]

I'm buying a BitFenix Prodigy and I have to remove most of the HDD bays.
Where can I put 3 HDDs? I can live with two, but I can salvage two hard drives, so why not use them? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

3.5" spinning drives really need to be securely mounted.

Depends on how often you move your PC really. If you are like me and just leave it laying where you first put it then a bit of velcro on the bottom of the drive + case works well enough. Just remember to be extra careful when moving it. A dropped drive is a dead drive.

Look at your case, do u see any empty space anywhere? make a shelf there, it may block airflow however.

Well yeah, I know, but where are the drive slots and/or are there any other places where to put 3.5" HDDs?

Without knowing exactly what you've done with the case, impossible to say.

I haven't done anything with the case, I'm planning on buying it. And I had a question for someone that may know and is a owner of a Prodigy. (No offense)

Thanks, didn't think of that! Probably will mount the HDD with the least amount of storage, since I won't be placing anything important in it.

np, just don't velcro mount a drive vertically. It will eventually fall.

A drill and some aftermarket mounting is also an idea if you happen to have a drill laying around.
