Quicksilver power board to Gigabyte Motherboard

[vostro15]

Thanks a lot - I will get this going ASAP and report back.

Unfortunatley when I bought this case there was no fan or DVD drive bracket - do you know whether there are any cheaper alternative brackets which fit the same case or is there another way to mount the DVD drive without trying to find an expensive DVD bracket?

For the fan do I really need to use a bracket? If I use epoxy to secure a fan there will that be okay?

My motherboard is a 24 pin one so I have a PSU which has that, but the motherboard also has a ATX 12V and so does the PSU - should I plug them both in?

EDIT: do you know if it is possible to use a DVD bracket for a graphite in a Quicksilver?

Thanks!

Best bet, would be to use the original dvd drive cage. They should be inexpensive to get through ebay.

If you want to, use 3M double sided tape.

um... yes!! Just don't use the quicksilver power supply on an atx motherboard. It will fry it and then your looking at shelling out more money.

No, it's won't fit. Different mounting design

Thanks, shame about the drive mount - I've found loads of Graphite ones but not a single Quicksilver. Oh well, I will find one sooner or later.

i saw a few QS drive cages on ebay going for $10 to $20. same with the fan cage.

I live in the UK - everything is double the price and there are fewer of them!
