Ok, I got the Lamptron FC6 today, and I cannot get it to fit in my Antec P280 case. The P280 has a tool-less 5.25in bay design, and any drive or controller you put into the bay is supposed to lock into place. This is not happening for the FC6. I don't know what the problem is, can anyone help me out?

Zip ties my friend. My solo 2 case has the same toolless mounting for the 5.25s and it unfortunately sucks. A couple small zip ties around where the mounting arm slides into the 5.25bay will allow the click lock portion to click in place and hold it in there.

most of the cases that has this tools less lock option only lock in in the holes that are below the hardware. Fot example: Dvd drive has four holes to on ench side two on top and two in bottom the tools less lock only use those two below so almost any 5" 25 bay that has short length like most of fan controller you will need to use screws to hold it in place I have corsair 800d with tools less lock with FC5 and I had to use screws instead. Is a link below for my worklog you can check it out if you want.
PS: That's not a fan controller problem is the short length hardware like all fan controller in the market
