    How do I install a 3.5" device in the Antec P180 case!??!

    How do I install a 3.5" device in the Antec P180 case.

    There doesnt seem to be any way to access the side of the bay to put in the side screws?!?

    Any ideas?

    3.5" device as in a floppy disk drive or a fan controller, or as in hard disk?

    pull the front of the casing off, and in the front you should see two screws either side of the 3.5" bays. (this is from my experience with the p160) and you should be able to slide the rack out. Install the fan controller, and then slide back in, do up the screws, put the front back on. Voila.

    Its different for a P160 which has a different design for the ext 3.5 bay.

    Anyway I figured it out - the P180 uses drive rails, you all I needed to do was install the drive rails onto the 3.5" device and just slide it in.
