Which they won't, to the degree that is necessary to make good contact
over a larger area. Only the metal between the screwhead and the (ho-
pefully) machined flat mounting hole will be making contact and only if
the screw is thightened to the extend that the (hopefully softmetal)
rail deforms to the shape of the drive's side around the mounting hole.
For that you must probably use more force than the drive's mounting
instructions allow.
(And pity the drives that are mounted through the bottom holes). With
the afore mentioned Coolmax CD-311 the drive is mounted (through the
sides) in the extruded bottom halve of the enclosure which (presumably)
is of hardened aluminum. The top halve is then slided onto the bottom hal-
ve which again doesn't make for very good contact with the bottom halve.

Hello, Folkert:
Tsk, tsk, your English is atrocious, at times! You really shouldn't be so
hard on Arno Wagner, therefore.
Here are my corrections, to your above paragraphs:
tightened (was, "thightened")
soft metal (was, "softmetal")
aforementioned (was, "afore mentioned")
half (was, "halve")
slid (was, "slided")
Also, when hyphenating words, they must be divided by syllables, such as:
hope-fully (was, "ho-pefully")
Last, but not least, a single-syllable word >cannot< be hyphenated, at all:
halve (was, "hal-ve").
Okay, now, class is dismissed! <g>
Cordially,
