I would strongly recommend buying the $3 bracket; they screw in correctly; they don't have give like ducktape and a drive at 5400rpm or faster can generate heat. If it is covered in tape; you could cook the drive. 9 years of putting computers together has taught me that if you cludge stuff; it'll go to shit when you most need it to work correctly. Duck take is also hard to remove and can be a maintinence headache. Surely even you poor americans/canadians can afford $3 for a mounting bay? If it was a rack mount case; I'd u nderstand.
