Can’t get your DVD Drive to fit into the 5.25″ drive bay on the Antec P180 using the provided drive rails? Don’t worry neither could I for about an hour :) How embarrassing! I was so frustrated by this I actually broke out into a sweat :P

Like any good nerd, I NEVER read the instructions to anything … particularly computer cases! So seeing that the 3.25″ bay had the clips on the drive rails facing the inside of the case I installed the drive rails the same way on my girlfriends brothers DVD Drive.

HINT: Don’t do this! The drive rails for your DVD Drive should be screwed on so that the clips are at the front of your Antec P180 case and the clips should also line up with the front of the DVD face. Here are some pictures to demonstrate what I mean:
