Mounting the internals - Part 3, The Harddrive.
This is by far the simplest part.

I used a bracket for mounting a harddrive into a 3.5" disc drive bay, I then simple used the existing holes and gaps to screw the bracket onto the metal frame. 

I then used thumb screws to attach the harddrive to the bracket.

If on your model it does not look as easy, you could either drill holes, or try mounting the harddrive on some styrene, then attach that to the metal frame.

It may be useful to use an old ATX case for parts in this instructable. I'm not sure where you're getting your components, but the ITX motherboard mounting, hard drive, and even the I/O ports could be sourced from such a case.
