Topic: ISO: blue plastic SATA HDD cradle/bracket for Dell Dimension desktop

[datbrad]

I have a 5 year old Dell Dimension desktop PC that I want to add a second SATA drive I just picked up on sale today from Office Max (Seagate Barracuda 1TB for $69 currently, btw). When I opened the case, I saw that instead of a standard 3.5" drive bay, it has a proprietary drive bay that you have to use a blue plastic tray to mount the HDD into, then it just slides into the open bay and snaps in place, no screws. The PC came with the one the HDD that the OS is on, but not an extra one in the second empty HDD bay for later use.

While a nifty design, it's not worth much if you don't have an extra plastic cradle. I was hoping someone on here had a Dell Dimension that is being used as a door stop or something and wouldn't mind seeing if they have an extra one of these cradles.

Thanks for looking...................

If it's the same caddy for the Dell Precision, I found one online last year for around $10 shipped.

Yeah, sorry it didn't work out for you...  The IT guy said that was all he had...
