well, i installed a second hd and it's hapilly shoved ontop of what i think to be th epower supply.
the ide/power cables wouldn't fit, and most of my drive bays (if i even know
where they are) were gutted so i just stick it anywhere.
won't that work for you now?
until you can get the proper equipment?

I would generally not recommend doing that.
I have seen a gateway case where it was possible to screw
harddrives onto a bracket above the power supply. However,
that is the exception to the rule. If you're drives are just lying inside your computer without any screws, be sure
to check them if you move your computer before turning it back on,
or you may get an unplaseant surprise.

I would prefer to install it in a drive bay if possible.  I'm going to have 
a closer look at it tomorrow.  This is only a micro tower case so there is 
not much room to put in anything extra.
