I have a empty 3.5" bay slot in my shuttle. I don't really need a floppy anymore, and already have an external card reader. I saw a raid controller which would be awesome, but mounting it would take away a location for the second hard drive. Anybody seen any neat things that could take up that wasted space?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
3.5" bay ideas

Too be honest a temperature gauge is what I really need, but they don't seem to make just a simple 3.5" temperature gauge. Always with a fan controller which I don't need because I have a shuttle.
if you want a temperature gauge, then go to 411 Tech Systems and buy and LCD, mount it in a 3.5" drive bezel and do it that way. It's simple AND it's DIY.

Here is a LCD that I used on my 3.5 drive bay:
Crystalfontz CFA-631 USB LCD
I use it to monitor the temperature in my case and it look pretty nice.

awesome replies! what is the interface with these things?
edit: ah just saw usb for crystalfontz, any idea if it'll work on 64bit machines?
CrystalFontz are just USB/RS232 interfaces (with software) for standard LCDs driven by Hitachi HD44780 series controllers. If you want, you can also buy the LCDs by themselves and drive them via LPT and bit bang the display.
