I got this generic Taiwanese case with a Pentium II system inside, but when I got it the 3.5" drive cage that holds the floppy and hard drives was already long gone. I'm hoping maybe someone on here has this case and can show me what the missing drive cage looks like so I can try to find a replacement? It's a sturdy, well-built case and I really don't want to just scrap it.

What would possibly be useful, is a photo of the underneath of the 5.25 bays so it can be seen what fixings/fittings the 3.5 cage attaches to.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

That's a bog-standard Enlight 7237 case. The computer I'm typing on right now is enclosed in one. If no one posts a pic before I do, then expect one in the near future.

Suspect that these parts are common across the Enlight ranges, with only bezel styling changes. If so, here are a few shots of the bay from my EN-7100 mini tower, plus the PDF manual which has an exploded schematic / p/n list at the end (manual says 5208089 but the actual part is stamped 3214134-1)

^EDIT (Firefox crashed before I could attach the PDF)

The cage hangs off the overlapping rails between it and the 5.25 cage and is secured by 3 screws and the quick release spring clips.

This is how your case should look inside

Yes, that's exactly how mine looks inside! I was wondering how exactly the drive cage stayed in place with seemingly nothing to attach to, I guess it attaches in a rather odd way.

Thank you for your photos! I don't know if I'll be able to find a replacement drive cage but at least I know what it's supposed to look like!
