Front I/O Bay Question
Question regarding the Top 5.25in bay that is housing the Power Switch along with the USB and Firewire ports.
1) Is that bay the same size as a normal 5.25in bay? It looks a tad smaller than the rest of the optical bays in the picture.
2) Can it be removed / relocated to a different bay?
The reason I ask is that I need one more 5.25in bay than what the 800D offers for my next build (it has 5, I need 6), and I would like to use the top bay for that purpose. Just to clarify what I am trying to do, here is why I would like 6 usable bays.
Bay 1-Card Reader, USB, eSata, Power Switch
Bay 2-Optical Drive
Bay 3-Blu-Ray Drive
Bay 4-Reservoir WC Loop 1
Bay 5-Reservoir WC Coop 2
Bay 6-Fan Controller
I plan on removing the stock bay (hopefully it can be removed by simply taking out screws or maybe a few rivets), and replacing it with a Black Brushed Aluminum 5.25 to 3.25 in adapter to house a Card Reader that also has USB and eSATA. I could care less about firewire, so I won't be including it. I will also add a custom Power and Reset switch to the Bay Adapter.
As long as it is the same size as a normal 5.25in bay and can be removed, I will be able to do exactly what I want with this case. Obviously I can make do with 5 bays is I have to, but if its possible I would like to modify it to fit my exact needs. Thanks in advance for the reply.
