ojon Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 I'm building an AMD64 system with the Coolermaster CM Stacker as it's home. I've come across a problem that should not be a problem. I need to transfer a 3-1/2" floppy to the Stacker case. However, seems a standard 3-1/2" to 5-1/4" frame doesn't work in the Stacker. The drive doesn't stick out of the case far enough to come thru the faceplate. Anyone successfully done this and can give me some tips on how to do this? I'm shocked! This should not be an issue with any modern case. TIA, Ojon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastakilla Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 if u just want the floppy to be in the case and NOT in a 4in3 drive module then u can do what i did: 1) take ur floppy drive 2) attach the brackets (those metal things in the shape of an 'U') the way u think they would fit best (a lil fitting, and some common sense should do it ) 3) fit it in the case, not payin attention to the holes 4) take a pencil 5) pencil on the brackets where the holes should be (just draw with ur pencil through the holes for the screws) 6) take a drill 7) drill tha holes 8) screw it in ur case and ur done... i only drilled 2 holes, so its attached with 2 screws... its PERFECT in place and more then fixed enough... there are other ways too i know some even modified them so they could use those 'no-screw' plastic things that u normally put on cdrom drive etc but i didnt really need that, so im really pleased with my method (quick easy and decent) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPU Killer Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 hmm I just used supplied adapter hardware and install my floppy with ease. It fit just right. try turning the adapters over and re-installing them.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 Yes, the supplied adapter works beautifully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THunDA Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 hmm I just used supplied adapter hardware and install my floppy with ease. It fit just right. ^^ What he said.. :nod: I also have a stacker and didnt need to drill any hole to mount my floppy.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slippy Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 ditto, two stackers, both fitted perfectly first time.. it was not immediately obvious. the U shaped brackets sit lower than the floppy drive, then the stacker brackets sit ludicrously high !!
