Has anyone installed a 3-bay 5.25" drive enclosure in their Enthoo Pro case? I just put in a Rosewill with 4- 3.5" hotswap bays, but cannot get any holes to line up to secure it inside the case. Any suggestions are appreciated.

For anyone looking to do something similar it's a very tight fit with an Intel s2600cp board, but there is just enough room.

I can guarantee you that is because of shitty build quality of parts. Even the floppy adapter that came bundled with Fractal Design Define R3 didn't align properly with a USB card reader I had. Had to press fit the screw in at an angle.
Some factory workers fail at bending sheet metal.

In hindsight I should have gone with an Intel P4000 chassis, but the Phanteks Enthoo Pro was super cheap.

I have an iStarUSA trayless 4-in-3 SATA hotswap in my Enthoo Pro along with the S2600CP board. I can tell you that the Enthoo Pro just has terrible alignment in the 5.25" bays.. the holes are off by about 2-3mm. I just filed the 5.25" bay mounting holes in the case a little larger with a small tapered file.
