do they fit guys?
does anyone actually have one fitted in a lian li pc6x series case, with lian li bay covers on?

the covers go back quite a way, and im wondering if they will interfere with screwing in the silendrive enclosure - any help appreciated *preferably from someone who has them in lian* or kustom staff.

thx :D

they fit fine in my lian li PC 70

think I might have swapped the direction of the mounts on them to make it fit though, wasn't too much problem.

thanx GB, how did you swap the mounts?

your case has the same front panels as my PC61 i think, which clip in with little raised tags into holes in the case?

thx!

I have one fitted in my PC6089 but I don't have it mounted with the screws. As you say, the blanking plates go back quite a way so I couldn't get the holes to line up. I tried swtiching the mounts same as gb115 but TBH it didn't make much difference. Works fine just pushed into place:)

thanks Conan - its a choice between the SilentDrives or this, by A conto http://www.amdmb.com/images/quietpc/hdcage-hdd.jpg

that didnt screw in either, although it was a reasonable tight fit - i may get one or the other, and just not screw it in (shame we can't screw them in though)

I just had a look inside my case.

I forgot, I've got my drives mounts overlapping slightly with the front bezels, still fits though, and is screwed in.

just squeeze the drive in behind the bezel, I managed to mount it as far back as poss.
