Looking for quality Hard Drive Rails (Adapter/Mounts)


Specifically 3.5 HD to 5.25 Bay (Adapter/Rail) for my Antec Sonata 3 case. 

Can someone please provide a LINK to exactly what I need to purchase; 3.5 HD to 5.25 Bay (Adapter/Rail) for my Antec Sonata 3 case . I want good design, quality parts. 

Thanks :) 




This past several weeks have been really bad, got things going wrong and oh well crap happens in life :( 

Anyway... I ordered a hard drive from Jim Roseberry but I require accessories to install it and so here I am asking the good folk for suggestions/recommendations. 

On April 5th, I paid Jim Roseberry $160 for a Seagate 1TB Hard-Drive; ST1000DM003 (plus shipment and install info) Jim suggested that hard drive and ordered it with delivery to my address. That hard drive retails for about $100 plus $7 (shipment) at NewEgg...  

I cannot Purchase at NewEgg
For some unknown reason NewEgg spits out transaction errors - I cannot complete the order - yet others sites work fine (to be fair; 99.98 percent of the time hahahaha). Seriously NewEgg is the only site that gives me consistent transaction errors

Anyway.... Jim Roseberry left me to find the accessories myself..... initially I sent Jim an E-mail asking which 3.5 to 5.25 rail to get (brand?/Model?) but after two more E-mails later I'm still waiting for a reply to that question.  All I want is the right part that is very good quality!

I got tripped up by purchasing the wrong (HD Mounting/Rail) part having paid extra for 2 day delivery! Dang it!! Often when I do a search the results also include a lot of  mostly wrong items some that are totally way off the mark and others that don't give a good description. After hours sorting through all that crap my eyes start going on me, I get tired and confused.

    Cool! Just checked my E-mail; Jim Roseberry is sending me a couple of spare rails.  

    Thanks Jim.

    I emailed this morning (prior to seeing this post) saying that I'd send 3.5" to 5.25" mounting rails.
    Note that if the HD was mounted in one of the lower 3.5" trays... the rails wouldn't be necessary.
     
    FWIW, I don't think the scenario the way it's stated/framed above is entirely fair.
    I've sent a private Email explaining why...
     
    In over 15 years of doing business, I've never left any client in the lurch... and certainly not over a HD.
    I built your DAW four years ago... and it's my understanding that it's still running well.
    I'm sorry that the HD addition didn't go as expected. 
    We've resolved the situation... and I'll make sure you've got the HD up-and-running.
    Give me a call when the rails arrive.
     
     
     

    Best Regards,
