Solve : Need Short Disk Drive?

Answer»

Idk where to find a Disk drive to FIT my nzxt m59 case with 140mm top fans installed all i know that i still have 6 inches of space for the Drive to be installed..Does the drive have to be at the top? You could simply just lower the disk drive one slot and have it operate there? Quote from: Kurtiskain on JULY 01, 2010, 06:02:08 PM

i know that that's an option but i just do not want to put it there, it will just RUIN the visual apearance of the case which i really want to do. Quote from: BluerjB on July 01, 2010, 11:50:41 PM

I don't believe you are serious.



Actualy i am.. idk how to explain it but in the pictures (look it up on google, NZXT M59) you see how theres a special cover for the disk drive.. see what if some one come over and uses the top one you know... like omg theres nothing there.. haha i hope you know what i meanWell if that is the case, I am sure you should be able to move that panel but anywho...

Looked on NewEgg for you. I suggest of course you go with a SATA DVD Writer because of the smaller cables for easier routing and for the higher link speed with the motherboard.

Sony DVD drive that looks like it would barely make it out of back end of the drive slot. After some research this drives approximate depth is 6.7 inches, if you could get a sata cable with the L shape on one end, and route your SATA power connector right, you should be able to fit it tightly.

This drive is also 6.7 inches if you would prefer it.

However if you want to take the LG route, this one is only 6.5 in

I myself have an LG, and I think it is very good for the price.

Unless you can use any of these then I think your only option would to go for an external drive, or for a SLIMLINE drive USED in laptops with a converter, which defeats the purpose of having the cool special cover.
