ATX-case with many 5.25" drive bays?

[Henri Tapani Heinonen]

Are there any ATX-cases with two or three (or more) HDD-bays, two 3.5" drive
bays and seven or eight (or more) 5.25" drive bays? I just need a big tower
for my three CD/DVD-drives, two floppy drives (5.25" and 3.5"), Zip drive,
Sound Blaster Audigy front panel, memory card reader (Apacer 15-in-1), tape
drive and hard disc drive. Which case should I buy?

Search on www.newegg.com or www.pricewatch.com for your specs. Given that
many devices, you probably should be looking at a workstation class case or
even a small server. I've used coolermaster and have heard really good
things about Antec so check them out.

Btw, you wouldn't happen to be living the US but still using a Finnish email
account would you? I've got an old copy of Lemmings in 5.25 disk format
which I've been trying to get copied onto a 3.5 so I can play it again. :-D

Have you tried downloading a copy of Winimage.

http://www.winimage.com/

I believe that has the ability to convert a 5.25 diskette into a 3.5
format one. Do you have a 5.25 disk drive on your system?

It's been a long time, but an old DOS program called CopyQM had that
ability iirc. There was a shareware version for awhile, so you should
be able to locate a copy with a little searching effort. I found a
copy here.

Thanks but my problem is hardware - haven't touched a 5.25 in years!

I think that 550 W is more than enough for me. I am also going to buy a dual
core processor, but only one graphics card. I do not use all those optical
drives all at once, so it will never consume over 500 W of power.

I live in Finland. I do have a 5.25"-drive (I bought it last summer), but I
have not tested it yet. I am buying a new computer and I am going to put the
floppy drive on it.

You can send the floppy to me, if you want. Though, we should negotiate
about it before sending discettes around the world. ;-)
PS. My e-mail address does work. Just reply anytime you want.

Agreed

The Coolermaster Stacker has a lot of space, and is very strong. It's
one of the most popular cases. You can also put in some large and quiet
fans to cool your hard drives.

How can I put a floppy drive (3.5"), a Zip-drive and a hard disk drive into
it? All those bays seems to be 5.25".
