Think I may of F*****d up

Hi there, so I went a bought a 256 gig samsung 830 ssd. I thought for some reason that my fractal r3 came with a bracket so I decided to buy the SSD without the bracket (it was considerably cheaper), but either I have lost it or it never had one in the first place. Can you buy universal brackets for SSD's or are SSD's specific with the ones made for them? Seems a pretty silly question I know and I have seen brackets on the interweb but wasnt sure weather or not they would be compatible with my SSD.

Please help forum buddies.

You can buy universal brackets

The fractal design hd mounting system is compatible with 3.5'' and 2.5''

^This. Fractal cases come with SSD and HDD screws, and the bays themselves support both 3.5" and 2.5" drives

Nope. Just slide one of the drive brackets out, screw the ssd in with the correct ssd screws in the 2.5" mounting holes, slide back in and you're good to go

If it doesn't seem to fit for a strange unknown reason you can always use some ducktape to stick it down.

Sorry for the over dramatic title. May have gone a bit over the top. Was just worried because today the day I get all my new bits and fit them and would of been a real bummer if for some reason I could not complete it because of a stupid bracket. Cheers for the advice though guys. Really do appreciate it. As you guys probably have realized I dont get as much time to get really in depth into computing as I have quiet a lot of work to be done with my job. But I do try lol. Thanks again.

Here's a few pictures of my office before the cleanup.

A few of my current components.

And some of my new stuff.

My new SD card of my phone.

My new keyboard.

We have a 5 meter optical cable, some more fans, more RAM and a 256gig SSD.

Here's my replacement motherboard as my last one blew up. Big thanks to overclockers for a quick turn around time.

I love that office. Would expect you can have a lot of fun there.
