1b) If it doesn't, does anybody know where I can get that fan mounting clip?
2) As far as I know, everyone I have seen has used a slot loading disk drive. Is there some painfully obvious reason why a tray loading drive should not be used?
3) Finally, does anybody who has done the mod have a drive they would recommend? I'd like to keep costs low, but am looking for CD/DVD RW capabilities. Lightscribe would be nice too, but I really don't want to pay more than $70 for a drive.

Thanks!

I bought mine from this store, I'm pretty happy with it... when I got it the price was $64. If you plan on doing that mod don't expect a good dvd burner to be lower than that.

I contacted Antec regarding the black fan frame for the drive cages. Unfortunately, they don't provide it separately. However, drilling 4 holes in the back of the cage to mount the fans, it should hold just fine.
