    [XP] 3.5 device in 5.25 bay adapter needed!

    Hello;

    I'm getting ready to assemble my new computer:

    Silverstone TJ09 Black
    Gigabyte P965 D3 mobo
    E6600 processor
    eVGA 8800 GTS
    and other diddys

    I other diddy is that I have a black Media Card Reader I want to install. But I only have one 3.5 bay (being used for my floppy). I've heard that there are adaptors that allow you to use a 3.5 device in a 5.25 external drive bay.

    But I've searched Newegg up and down but can't seem to find one!! Can anyone point me in the right direction? It doesn't have to be Newegg. Anywhere will do!

    Thanks for your help.

    Thank you, everyone. I don't know why, but I never think to Google something like this. But thanks for your efforts. I appreciate you taking the time.

    Supersparks: thank you for the laugh! I think duct tape can be used for just about anything.

    Thanks,
    Don

    It is not recommended for repairing or sealing ductwork!
