Hello all,
I am building a pc I have 2 side by side vertical 3.5 bays. I am not interested in floppy, but am looking for something to do with the bays. I have the thermalrock mystic
http://www.thermalrock.com/chassis/mystic/mystic.htm
Was thinking of putting in a temp monitor, but they are designed only for horizontal orientation. Ayone have any tricked out ideas?
Thanks JPMac

Why buy something just for the sake of buying it? I'll sell you a brick for $40. How many people do you know have bricks in their computers?

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

its a htpc case so a flash card reader/writer maybe, but i cant think of anything else you'd need to use.
Easy guys, chill out, no reason to kill each other.

No worries, I was just being light hearted and jovial. Hope I didn't upset you Dunker that wasn't my intent. :)
The Media card reader was what I was thinking as well...seems to really be the only sensible option.
Thanks

No prob. Actually that card reader is a good idea.

or your porn on a flash pen.
does the case have an ir reciever? im sure you could knock one together.
what about a pop out, usb powered, cup warming holder, that might be a bit harder to fab your self tho.
depending on the heat you might need to use one as a vent???
if not stick 2 big harddrives in them.
