I have mounted my two 540's as follows: Wrapped them into thick packaging plastic and thrown the pack right in and reassembled the Emax case.. :) Not a very nice solution but they have been running for two years now, withouth problems. There might be a problem of overheating though, but I have never had my Emax on for more than a day or so at a time. There are plenty of room inside, so there is no good reason for _not_ mounting the drives properly. (Maybe w a PC kit) but I'm too lazy.
