Hello everybody I'm new, first post. Please help me I'm having trouble installing a cd rw in a case that has no left panel and no set screws.

I have a Antec Sonata III 500 case which has no left panel and no set screws to hold the cd rw in place. If it was a normal case I'd know in a second how to do it, but this case is a problem. If you have experience with Antec towers, could you please help with advice on how to get my old cd rw out without breaking anything and installing the new one? Thanks.

Never thought to look at the video, thanks. To think I was going to pry the faceplate off LOL. Do you own one of these?

No, I have this el-cheapo.

But I figured there must be something on the website to explain things.

So that did help you out then.

It did. I was going to go in by pulling the face plate and looking to see how it was mounted. Probably would have broken the faceplate and . I still have to try it though, the video makes it look real easy but I bet it's not... LOL Thanks again.
