Re: Looking for CoolerMaster HDD rails

It's been a while since I went there, but I thought that *Best Buy* had stuff like that in the store.

If not, then the *Ink+* tends to be able to get their hands on stuff like that for me.

If you show them one, they might be able to get you a mechanical equivalent.

I looked for Trailing Edge - I didn't find them.

Ah, I searched for Trailing Edge in Bells Corners.  It seems they have
moved to 2720 Queensview.  I will check them out - thanks.

Also, CoolerMaster got back to me and told me my case is model
RC-500-KKN1-GP, it is out of warranty and they cannot help me.

I sent pictures to the list of what I am looking for on this message:

BJB: take a picture or send a link to the online source.  Maybe I have one or two

It's not uncommon to 3d print a part for this type of bracket for older hard to order stuff.

The question is do you have a more specific meassurement or part number to go on.

Purely for fun, I dug up my spare drive brackets and found something similar, but there is no guarantee any of those will fit. I rember back in the day that there were differnet types for different bays or enclosures but some worked universally. I shall pm you link.

I'd hate to have to see you file down, or worse force fit a part that doesn't match.  BTW, that's good national pride about using what already exists in Canada first.. but for $7.89 it shows your dedication in current times... :-)

Subject: [linux] Looking for CoolerMaster HDD rails


I need some extra CoolerMaster HDD rails - does anyone have any
extras lying around?

I inquired at RBComputing - they don't have any.  They say they
don't need them any more and (sob) threw them out.
I don't buy from online sources, they do have them at Amazon,
NewEgg etc.  But ... I'd rather not get them from those places.

Plan C is to somehow make something.  But first, Plan B:  ask
around.
