Default Saving screws

Here's a brilliant example of precision hard drive mounting. Hey, it saved 20 cents on screws!

No way would I allow that....I would worry too much about HDD overheating.

lol toothpicks.. there's nothing really wrong with that.. just that it's ghetto hehe.. only thing i think would be bad about that.. is that it's not secured well enough.. the hard drive may shake too much or something

i don't use screws to keep my hard drive in place, my case came with these plastic spacers you put on the left and right side of the HDD and it fits into a slot. i actually like that alot.

Wait, you're supposed to screw in the hard drive? So when you say "my HD crashed" yours *doesn't* fall out? So that's Why!
