Cable ties are your friend.

Places like Homebase sell them for $1.50 for 100.

I've used them to do this before.

so he has to cable-tie is hard drives in because it doesn't line up with the screws anymore?

Yes
Probably would provide a little bit of shock protection too

Oh wait, I read it wrong

I thought you meant the fan hole doesn't line up anymore

I've never cable tied a HDD in before but good luck with that :ph34r:
