[AlmightygMan]

I want to install 2 hardrives, the problems is that I don't have another power outlet for another hardrive and no space, is there a way to get around this problem?

If space isn't available for two Hard drives why not get a larger drive and partition it.

Now, what was I doin'......

You can always put a Y on the power, leave the case off, and let the drive hang loose Or, maybe not... If your computer can't handle it, you're kinda outa luck- I'd recommend just buying a slightly larger drive than you originally planned, and copy the contents of your old drive to your new drive. You can easily do this by temporarily unplugging the CD-ROM, and using those connections for the 2nd drive until the install is complete.

good luck!

You can build yourself a support for the new drive.
Cut two metals and make holes on it and problem is solved.

If you've got the room, get creative with a mounting bracket.
I didn't have a proper, designed, space for my second hard disk, but noticed a space underneath the power supply, so I drilled some holes in the bottom of the case, and screwed it to the floor of the case. Quite a few cases I've seen use this method, though they usually have pressings which lift it off the floor of the case a little to allow air to circulate. Mine seems fine as it is *crosses fingers*

They make removable mobile HDD racks too. Some come with the cable and everything you need to add an IDE drive.

If the current case you have can't fit 2 or more hdds, it sounds to me like it's time to get another case. Maybe a mid-tower or mini-tower.
