October 28, 20187 yr Hi, I currently building my unraid server and have already most planned and/or installed. Now to the question..I have planned to install at max. config 15x 3,5" at the front in the 5-in-3 cage (pic 3.), but also at least 3x 2,5 SSD planned and thought maybe putting these behind the HDD cages (pic 5.). The easiest way would be to put some double side tape on it and stick to the side and/or the middle plane, but a litte bit more professional would be great. Since I bought the case (Lian Li PC-D600) used I got rid the original HDD cages and maybe reuse them to mount them somehow at the back (pic 1). I noticed then this wouldn't work since I could not get the drives in or out. Next Idea was to do the cage vertically (pic 2.) and this would work quite ok but not really usable mounting points in this orientation. I have got around max. 20cm (15cm more reasonable for airflow) space between the 3,5" cage and the backside of the case. Does anyone have an idea or do know a part like 2,5" cage that can be easily mount at 120/140mm fan mounting points ? My components that are important for the question: - Case PC-D600 (http://www.lian-li.com/pc-d600/) - 3,5" HDD cage MB155SP-B (https://www.icydock.de/goods.php?id=129) English is not my native language so please be forgiving. Ps. online store for parts I would only use EU ones.. Edited October 28, 20187 yr by Technikte
October 28, 20187 yr Speaking in general, but there's always making a metal bracket, or 3D-printed shim, such that you could mount it to the to fan mounts and mount the 2.5" bays connect to the piece. Unfortunately I don't know of a specific product to do what you would like to do.

Unfortunately I don't know of a specific product to do what you would like to do. The idea with 3D printing is not bad and the finshed product should fit my needs the most. Do you have any recommendation for an programm or free model website for beginner in 3D design ?

I don't have a 3D-printer, but my co-worker who does recommended website: https://www.thingiverse.com/ in response to your question. My co-worker has also used, https://www.yeggi.com/ , https://pinshape.com/ , https://www.myminifactory.com/ , but has not given me any program recomendations.
