Drive rails for an AT case

[itsvince725]

I recently acquired most of an AT PC from a Goodwill of all places, but it didn't come with any drives and unfortunately it needs drive rails. Judging by the picture I took of the channels the rails rest in, they seem to be the exact same size as those used by the IBM AT.

I need two sets of rails as I plan to install a CD drive and a 5.25 floppy drive. Does anyone have rails or know where I can get them?

I have AT drive rails, but those look wider. Why not measure the width?

Is that an Enlight AT case? If so then those metal rails are easy to find on ebay. Do you have a shot showing the full exterior of the case with the bezel on?

I couldn't find any branding on the case (or the motherboard, oddly enough)

Here's a front shot showing the bezel:

I have that exact case with a 486 inside of it. It is either an enlight or a clone of it (purchased at a traveling computer show in the 90's).

What you need is something like this:

Thank you! That helps a lot.

Toshiba used those cases for its Infinia desktop line. I rather like the convenience of the slide-out rails.

Those rails are fine as long as the case has not warped at all. And if you need to find old rails those are probably the easiest to locate. I went through some fun finding newer plastic rails for a gamer case a few years back that were no longer being made. I think I have a shoebox full of green DELL rails.

I have a huge box of these.

PM me, I'll send some for the cost of postage.
