Okay, so I got a Cooler Master Storm Scout and I was trying to find a way to install the DVD drive and it seems like metal is blocking it or something...
I was hoping to put the drive at the bottom.

Hope you understand it from the pictures.

All cases have those; you just wiggle them until they come out and then throw them away.

Lol, you're supposed to push out those metal plates if you want to install something in the bay. I don't know about you, but I think most people tend to install optical drives starting in the top bay.

Hmm, first build, so I guess I'm learning.


So, I should just snap them off and put them somewhere else?
Lol, that seems like a waste of materials for the company.

yeah but he wants to install it in the very bottom bay. all you have ot do is unscrew that 3.5" flopping drive bay converter and take it out.

Nah, I don't need it on the bottom. Just second to bottom. Less work for me.

Just twist or wiggle them out, and chuck those things in the trash.

I personally do it to ALL of them, it allows for better air flow.

If you are trying to use that bottom bay I think that one is made for a 3 1/2 in slot.

Reason I can see someone putting it in the bottom: because his PC might be on his desk!

He is probably trying to avoid having to stand out of his chair to put a CD in. Makes sense to me! I only put my Optical drive in the top because my box is on the floor...

You guessed it. The case will be on the desk after I'm done with everything.

The desk is the only good place for a pc


Plenty of airflow, along with constant satisfaction if you have a side panel window
