5.25 to 3.5 adapter

Hey everyone,

I just bought a Veris multimedia station thingy and it is supposed to be enclosed in a 3.5 floppy bay but unfortunately i have the antec 300 case and it doesnt have one.

I want the drive bay to look decent with a nice faceplate to match the antec 300 design but i cant seem to find one on the antec site.

can someone please give me some options on what i should get.

THANKS!

Ya i just didnt know what was a good faceplate and kit for the 300, seeing pictures online is hard to compare to what it actually is.

And i was just wondering why antec doesnt have the adapters for the 300 in stock or on the site anymore?

And so you would go with the one in the second link that you posted ?


Also ill wait a few days to order if anyone has the adapter for the antec 300 case from antec and you are not using it anymore ill buy it from you. Just send me a PM with what you want for it.

An adapter is an adapter, as long as the color matches (probably will if it's black) it'll look fine.

I'd look on ebay first.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.

(sorry was playing TF2 when you messaged.)

Sorry shyguy i didnt see your post.

I read that they dont work by just putting them in there, people were saying that you need to do some case modding for it to work. Not being to familiar with case modding i think im going to try and veer away from doing that.

Hi, I thought I'd post my research here. The 3.5" adapter is now sold out on the Antec website. I did find it in a few other places:

US:

Buy.com 5.25'' to 3.5'' adapter for 300 - 30300 - Buy.com (currently $9.95 plus free shipping)

I bought mine from Buy.com and I can confirm it is the right part.

Amazon.com, sold by Electronica Direct Amazon.com: ANTEC 5.25 to 3.5 adapter for 300: Electronics (currently $11.69 plus 6.63 shipping)

AntaresPro.com ANTEC 30300 5.25" to 3.5" adapter for 300 @ AntaresPro.com (currently $5.99 plus 9.95 shipping)

And there are other places as well. So it's around if you want to look, but not currently at the Antec store...
