    What to put in the bays?

    Ok, I'm getting close to being able to finally get the parts I need for my new system but I'm not 100% sure what to get in terms of bay devices.

    System atm is being built in a Lian-Li PC-A05 case so it'll fit neatly under my desk. This gives me 2 x 5 1/4" bays, an external 3 1/2" bay and depending on whether I keep it, a hard drive cage that holds 3 drives.

    Any suggestions on what to fill my bays with?

    Which one though? Is there ones that I could still fit a 3 1/2" drive behind?

    Fan controller would be a decent idea, if you are really wanting to fill them up then you can get LCD screens, cup holders and multimedia controllers

    I'm guessing I'll not be getting many serious answers then!

    Fan controller seems a bit pointless tbh, the case has only an intake and exhaust fan and the other two fans I'm modding into the side will be drawing power from a 7v source
