I wish it was that simple... This is something you have to "see" to believe.
I guess I'm just taking a "poll"...   So from now on, please reply "off list" to
save space -- if anyone else wants to "vote". [log in to unmask]

When I look in the lowest drive bay (of the 4sized "one" on the front) I see
two flanges on each side running front to back. (Three drive are in the
upper three of four slots.)
After the rails are screwed to the drive, and the drive is properly inserted
in the flanges, it goes in an inch or two, trying to lower as it goes (due to the
"ramped leading edges") and then drops hard onto the floor of the drive
cage and jambs hard, with most hanging out the front.
I only brought it to the attention of "you builders" as this is a real problem if
this case is ever to be "filled up" with equipment.    (THE PLAN).......
(It is a problem that will come back to "haunt you"...)
This case replaces a case 20 months old that is a midi tower...
A very unexpected problem...      Rick Glazier
