    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?

    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

    could also modify the 3.5" face plate to put in usb ports which i did on mine or even firewire port as i'm thinking of doing.

    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.
