So over the holidays my daughter asked for a gaming PC, so I asked her to do the work of spec'ing it out, learning about the components, and building it. She ended up buying a case that has no 5.25" drive bays and now I feel so old that this is even possible.
Intel NUC - you can probably fit TWO in a single 5.25" drive bay.
Yeah, probably not connected to anything. Even then, I think you *could* connect these to power and either use wifi or snake ethernet cables inside the enclosure... 🤔
Wait, this is going to require some serious experiments. Let me drag ye olde tower from the basement and order two NUCs. Be back in two weeks.
@climagic my latest computer. A hp prodesk 400 g5. It does not even have a 3.5" drive.
@climagic as the other replies state, you should feel even older. A lot of PCs don't even sport 3.5" any more.
@climagic me too. my son' English book has a cdrom Attached at the end and I have no drive to read it
