Okay, I think I´m going this way.

Is it safe to mount the cage with only three small standoffs to the side of the case? :D
Are the drives still noisy using your method?

Regards ;)

Na I never had any issues with the standoffs from the side, as long as you don't wrench on it they will be fine.
As for quietness I was using the G5s rubber screws for the HDD, I had several sets to utilize.
 
either way works i mounted mine under the dvd drive no noise at all....
note: i used rubber rings to isolate drive cage to dvd shelf... :thumbup:

ell head that ps i showed u would work nice in a g5 but the 12v rail amps are a bit low
so using a high end gpu is out.
that ps is good for using integrated graphics setup...
:thumbup:
 
How do you exactly mounted the cage with the rubber rings onto the shelf? :D
 
drilled 4 oversized holes >bolt >rubber>to shelf>rubber>hd cage>rubber>bolt
in that order..
tricky but effective....no noise at all...



ell head that ps is about 45..usd(merit evo ps).....ebay may have them...
:thumbup:
