Can I mount a 2.5'' drive in an Antec Solo?

[solouser]

I have an Antec Solo (not Solo II). It doesn't have a 2.5'' bay. Will any generic 2.5''-to-3.5'' converter bracket work? I would link to a picture of the Solo caddy and the drive and bracket I am thinking of getting, but the forum won't let me post links.

According to a link i found while looking for pictures of your case ( http://techgage.com/print/antec_solo/ ) it looks like you should be able to.. or at the very least be able to drill 4 holes into one of your sliding hard drive mounts so that it can accept an SSD, from the SSD's ive owned in the past they all seem to mount using 4 screw holes in the very bottom of the drive, unlike mechanical drives which had both side and bottom screw mounting points..

keeping this in mind you should be able to take a peice of card mark up / poke holes through where the SSD mount points are and use that as a template to easily be able to make your own mounting tray with one of your original hard drive slide mounts that came with your case.
