Put it in an optical drive space. You can buy 5 1/4 to 3 1/2 adapters for the purpose.

yeah but be careful with this I have three HD's and there is VERY little space left inside my case I have to have one sitting on the bottom of the case just because I can fit it in any where else
 
You should be able to fit one in the floppy drive bay as well, assuming your case has a spot for a floppy drive anyway.

no room where floppy would go cause a motherboard plugs in way. got external enclosure, but not too happy.

but it might get to hot if i jam it in there...i was thinking making braket to mount inside case???

or leave in enclosure???

As long as you don't put the bracket in a spot where it will block a lot of airfow it should be fine.

I'd probably just stick with the external enclosure as you've already got it.
