try get on of those cable based pci risers, should give you some flexibility to move stuff around
I'm putting my system together and I found out the hard way that I can't fit a PCI card and a cdrom drive in my case at the same time.![]()
It's a great case http://servercase.com/miva/miva?/Mer..._Code=Mini-ITX
The drive seems to be approx 1" too long. It's a samsung combo drive, so it's about 7.25" (180mm) long. I could just remove the front of the case and let it hang out, but that's just a smidgen too ghetto for me. I searched googlefor a shorter drive, and 170 seems to be as short as they come.
Any ideas??

Another option would be to use a laptop dvd drive with an ide adapter. They are generally about 1/2" wider and deeper than a cd/dvd.

I just bought a Lite-On DVD±RW (SOHW-812S). It is a fair amount shorter than the CD-RW drive that it replaced. I don't think it was an inch shorter though.
Check the Lite-On site for the specs. If it looks like it will be close, I can measure mine for you.
