5.25 drive cage thingy

(1/4) > >>

david656:
all i need is a cage going from top to bottom, DVD drive 5.25", a 5.25" bay empty, then a 3.5"drive bay for a hard drive.

thats all i need is a cage but ebay and maplins don't seem to do that!

it just needs to be able to screw on to a bit of board with holes in it for the bays to poke through.


incase your wondering i want it because it does not only make life easier but looks smart haveing it neatly in the bottom of my arcade cab incase i need to load more things on in future.

Rip one out of an old computer.   Get the old computer from someone who is throwing it out or pick one up at goodwill or the like for a few dollars.

Heh, at first I thought you were doing a parody of "the jerk".  I agree, salvage one from an old computer case.


And that's it and that's the only thing I need, is this. I don't need this or this. Just this ashtray. And this paddle game, the ashtray and the paddle game and that's all I need. And this remote control. The ashtray, the paddle game, and the remote control, and that's all I need. And these matches. The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control and the paddle ball. And this lamp. The ashtray, this paddle game and the remote control and the lamp and that's all I need. And that's all I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one - I need this. The paddle game, and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches, for sure. And this. And that's all I need. The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine and the chair.

     My opinion goes along with the rest, just use an old atx case. 

     I actually found an old atx case in my neighbors trash, and it turned out very well ( After I hacked it up quite a bit ). 
 
     On a side note, some hard drive bays are designed to be removable which makes them very easy to mount in a cabinet.  On the other hand, I haven't seen a case that has a removable 5.25" bay (In my situation I am not using a DVD or CD-Rom Drive, just USB, so it wasn't an issue ).

And my dog. *GRRRRRR* OK, maybe not my dog.


The other popular option seems to be pipe strapping-I keep forgetting to pick it up, going to have to now that I have the CP mounted on the cabinet and can't put off sticking in the computer because I kept playing at the table :laugh2:
