I Cant Find A Half Height Card Reader

Wehiremonkeys

So I have a couple of old style all in one PCs and they're both begging for a card reader which they do in fact have a slot for.

The problem lies in the fact that the drive bays are not standard 3.5" ones but rather a more obscure drive bay that takes up half the height of a standard 3.5" drive bay.

 

for reference please see the attached images.

 

I know such card readers exist as I have seen other versions of the same system on Ebay with them already installed, but on my systems it worked out better value to buy ones without them (my Viglen has a IPS screen vs the VA one in some others).

For Example: VIGLEN OMNINO ALL IN ONE 23.6" FHD i5-3570 8GB 3.40GHZ 500GB WIN 11 DESKTOP PC | eBay

Thats a custom made card reader for that slot. So you won't be finding that.

You say that but My RM one has the exact same port despite being from a different manufacturer.

I do have one of those but they tend to flop all over the place and don't exactly look tidy, shame since the cable management on the Omnino is so good.
