3.5 Inch To 5.25 Inch Hard Drive Mounting Kit Adapter

[JohnnyFeelIt]

Does anyone know of a specific shop that sells 3.5 Inch to 5.25 Inch Hard Drive Mounting Kit Adaptors?

I don't fancy walking round 100 shops asking for them, only to receive blank looks.

Thx

Forgot to mention.. In BKK

I guess any shop that assembles desktop PCs should have hard drive mounting brackets, don't expect a nicely packaged end-consumer product though.

The simplest versions look like this:

lol.. yeah, I was thinking about taking a picture and just pointing to it. I've got a feeling it will still take most shops at least 30 minutes to decide if they have them or not tho

It is not THAT common because most desktop PC enclosures have a dedicated drive bay for 3.5" hard drives. I'd say rather go to one of the smaller Thai shops that do the PC assembling themselves than try to find it at more fancy end-user stores such as IT-City.

But if you go to Pantip or alike it can't take too long to find it. And should be cheap as well.

The 'not that common' bit is what I was worried about... Thanks for the pic's

Indeed on the 'not so common'

I've touted samples round Zeer and Pantip to choruses of 'not have', many shops didn't even know what it was for (so the above picture may get better results) in the end got some off eBay.

I did see at least one place with a 4 drives in 3 bays adaptor, so all is not lost

ahh, nice 1. Theres a guy selling some in HK, shouldn't take too long to arrive

The 4 drives in 3 bays adaptor had a fan? It must be a very tight squeeze?
