My thing is too small...

[sorn21]

I need something to convert my 3 1/2 inch thing into a bigger size, more specifically 5.25".

Is there anything on the market which will boost my size to this extent, as I'm currently finding no pleasure in having my smaller item thrust inside a larger hole.

Is this my fault or should I be looking at finding a smaller hole to begin with?

Many thanks.


*oh, extension item should preferably come in black brushed aluminium.

Useful answers only, please. ;)

Try asking a sensible question then.

Makes sense to me!

I take it you're looking for a way to get a floppy one in a big hole? You can use (I think!) a HDD adapter to mount the drive internally. For the facia, I'd email a case manufacturer that has one on their case, and see if they'll sell you one!

e.g. the 3rd slot down on this case:

Haha I know! I don't understand why those two are being so awkward

Well its actually for a SD card reader device, thing, they are typically 3.5
All my drive bays are 5.25, and being a new case I have, I don't think they have released any accessories or what have you yet.

Unless anybody knows of a 5.25 SD reader etc?

Oh you meant a drive bay! There was me thinking a "small thing" was a nice Aubergine you bought from the Supermarket.

Silly me!

Lian Li MF515B could be the solution you're looking for, you just have to find one.

Are you sure you got the right one? Most things nowadays are 5.25" as standard. I'd see about taking it back...

It is a **** related topic, just look at the way the OP was written. But he wanted help with a legitimate problem.

You can often find a smaller hole quite close to the bigger hole you are struggling to fill. The installation process can take a bit of time, especially as theres not really enough room to get your hands in as well, so be prepared to take your time. i think you'll find that although initially quite a tight fit your little 3 1/2 thing will be easily accomodated. Just be careful not to get your hands trapped.

I once managed to get my hand trapped inside what I presumed to be a large hole.
That was messy. I had to shout on my mum to help me pull it out.
