So I went ahead and got a Gotek drive for one of my retro builds and the holes don't line up. It's not even close, did I get a bad one or is this normal?!

I recall mine didn't line up either, but I found a way to get it in. Having said that I should look in my case to see how, but my laziness is winning out over moving my 17" CRT. 😳

Let me guess - you used double-sided sticky tape, didn't you ? 😉

I think even lazier, I think I only used one screw since the 3.5" bay is sideways in my case. But I'll have to look. 😀
