Hi,

My uncle has a Dell Dimension E310 computer. I'm going to add a new hard drive since his case has an empty internal drive bay for 1 more SATA HDD.

The problem is, it's a screwless design so it uses plastic mounts and there is no extra mount included for a new hard drive. I contacted Dell and they said they do not sell those plastic mounts so I'm looking for a way I can secure that extra HDD into the drive bay.

I have no choice but to ghetto-rig this drive into place...so...Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
