DVD Drive doesn’t fit in Antec P180
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 
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:

Gah!! They face foward. lol
I feel so stupid.
You save me men !!!
That was a great idea to post this hint.
Thank you (and google) very much!
this is exactly what i was looking for. antec had a decent manual until i got to installing in the 5 1/4″ drive bays. I was left clueless at what it was trying to get at. i guess now after seeing this image i could sorta tell what they were saying
thanks
Freaking AAAAAAAA!
Thanks a lot man!

My dvd drive’s been flopping around for over a year!!
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
