My Cooler Master HAF-932 has no screws for drives either. It has those |
| 34 |
plastic frames with these rubber and metal pins that take the place of |
| 35 |
screws. Once the frame is inserted into the drive cage, those pins |
| 36 |
can't let go of the drive. I might add, if the pins are inserted |
| 37 |
properly, the plastic frame won't go into the cage either. I like the |
| 38 |
design part but I hope the plastic part never breaks. They ain't cheap |
| 39 |
or easy to find at times. |

Oh, my mobo supports hot swap SATA so all are hot swappable too. I'm |
| 42 |
not sure if I have a IDE connector. It might but I'm not sure. |
