Card Reader Recommendations

[robbieshanks]

Looking for a little advice.

I've just bought a system for a mate using Antec 300 case. However, I've just realised there are no external 3.5" bays for a card reader and he definitely wants a card reader in the build.

What are my options? Anyone with an Antec 300 who has installed a card reader with some feedback? Reviews of 5.25" card readers seem crap compared to the 3.5" versions.

(note: I have posted in the case modding forum with no responses but thought I would try here too as it's sort of more general hardware query)

Thanks for the suggestion daz. Unfortunately I've already found the IcyBox option on the store named after a rainforest. The reviews are extremely poor (basically sounds like the circuit board has been badly stuck to a 5.25" cage - the 3.5" drives get significantly better reviews all round.

I'm looking into an adaptor but at the moment am leaning more towards suggesting a good portable card reader and leaving the lovely mesh on the front of the Antec 300 alone!
