I installed a SIIG 4 port USB bay hub in the AT mini pc's 3.5 internal device bay.

this is what it looks like.

problem. the hub is not very well secured in the bay. it slides back inside the pc if I push in a usb connector in.

and due to the way its designed, only 2 (rear of the bay) of the 4 screws can be used in the 3.5" internal bay of the AT mini case.

they're already tightened, it just turns.. I think the hole in the case has been stripped.

any suggestions on how to fix this?

thanx all

    If it's using the smaller device mounting screws use the larger ones that hold the case together. If that doesn't solve the problem (carefully) drill a couple more holes to secure it.

    Mark as many different holes on the unit as you can from the pre-existing holes in your case. Drill them out smaller then the screws that you will be using, assuming that the housing is plastic you should be able to "thread" the holes by using the screws themselves.
