| 743372 | 2009-01-30 09:38:00 | I have two 3.5" and two 5.25" unused drive bays, what kinda flash and unnecessary things can I shove in there? I was thinking of two Cool Drive 6s in the 5.25" bays but they're only available in silver, and being as shallow as I am it'd throw off the look of my computer. Unfortunately the Cool Drive 5s look pretty bad, and Lites don't have any glowing bits or buttons. Any ideas? Form over function. :p |

| 743376 | 2009-01-30 19:15:00 | I was going to make a dock for my Eee in there. Too bad the bay wasn't wide enough. :D | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 743377 | 2009-01-30 19:45:00 | Totally unnecessary fan controllers perhaps? Yes, and I think I hit the motherload with this beast ( . co . nz/productspecification . aspx?ItemID=370086" target="_blank">ascent . co . nz) . This still leaves me with two 3 . 5" bays, I had a look at those card readers but I didn't like them very much . I don't want to add another fan controller / temp monitor either, because really, underneath the Sentry it'd be redundant even by my standards . What else is there? Surely there's some novelty gadget or something for children such as myself? Fan controllers and card readers? That's it? Makes me wonder why they even bother putting these bays into cases, let alone modern 'gaming' cases, and no less than two of the useless buggers . . . Or am I being ignorant? Should I get a floppy drive? I've had one in every computer I ever owned, but haven't actually used one since 1999 . |

| 743378 | 2009-01-30 20:00:00 | If you want something useless, add 3.5" and 5.25" floppy drives. :D | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 743379 | 2009-01-30 20:56:00 | Little fold out screens. Or forget about it and buy someone you like dinner. Do something nice with the money. |

| 743380 | 2009-01-31 03:20:00 | What about a cassette deck ( . thinkgeek . com/computing/drives/7a8d/" target="_blank">www . thinkgeek . com)? Nothing wrong with silver if you have a black case . My case is the opposite, silver with black DVD drive and card reader . Looks rather snazzy to me . |
