What to use the Fraktal Define R6 5.25 bay for?

[Windows95]

I feels empty. Should I stick a dvd reader for nostalgia sake so I dont have to plug an external USB one everytime I wanted to use a dvd? any ideas?

If it's too much of a hassle to plug in an external optical drive, sticking one in the 5.25" bay makes sense.

there's a lot of haters saying installing an odd in 2020 is a heresy

This is at least your third topic on the same subject...

Cupholder/12v car plug/cigarette lighter combo?

 

 

Or y'know, a card reader or something.

Don't listen to them?

 

Put in anything you want, or nothing at all.  Mine is blank for my fans.

And you're just gonna listen to them?

 

I say if it's more convenient for you to buy an internal ODD, then by all means, go for it.

I judge people who have optical discs. I'm just better than them, what can you do? Plebs.

 

(If you actually use CDs, go for it. Otherwise, I'd use it for more front io or quick swap storage)

what do you mean blank for your fans? fans dont get in the way of whatever you put in the bay

If you leave it blank, you can put fans higher in the front.  Otherwise you have to scoot them down a little.  Personal preference of course.

im going to use x3 120 silent wings 3 in there:

 

 

Doesn't it leave an akward space if you don't use the bay? wehter you remove it and place the fans higher or not, there will be a gap if you don't use it. an ODD gives it a nice retro feeling and if i needed to read a disk i wouldn't need to plug in some external usb as im really lazy

Naw, since the door is closed you can't tell anyway.
