5.25" bay peripherals?

[Sirgeorge]

Does anyone have any recommendations for peripherals to put in a 5.25" bay besides a Blu-Ray Player? Just curious.

Fan controller, sd card reader

On a related note, does anybody know where you can get a 5.25" enclosure for all of these 5.25" accessories?

I have four of them in my fractal design case. I wanted to know if anything useful existed out there for them.

I have a cheap chinese touch screen fan controller in my top 5.25 bay, and a Phobya 5.25in bay res in the one below that.

I saw a nice and simple front panel with USB 3 ports and audio jacks ... something like this  I wouldn't mind having on the front panel :

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-pin-approx-2-Port-USB-3-0-Hub-and-HD-Audio-3-5-in-PC-Floppy-Front-Panel/351737226928

 

 

I simply love symmetrical things, i like how the connectors are evenly spaced and the two color scheme and how the audio connectors are not color coded, it annoys me to see a green and an orange connector on a front panel, or like my case has one single usb 3 blue connector and 3 usb 2.0 connectors on the front, making it not symmetrical

 

Something like this could also be useful for some people, a 7 port usb 3.0 hub (takes one 5gbps connection and creates 7) ... http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-Port-5Gbs-USB-3-0-Hub-5-25-CD-ROM-Drive-Bay-Front-Panel-HUB-for-Windows-/361876798260

 

 

 

From my point of view they screwed it up by adding that hole for a led .. for what, to show that it's powered? I know it's powered when my computer is powered. I guess the design also sucks because it doesn't have a 10 pin connector to plug directly into the motherboard, or maybe it could have been made to have 8 connectors, one pass through from the motherboard and the other 7 from the hub chip (sharing one 5gbps connection), and this way you'd have a single 20 pin connection going to the motherboard.
