Let’s see if I can get FIVE systems in this one! Trying to prioritize the older systems which might potentially have leaky batteries. It’s been a lot of fun so far!
Looking good! You’ve got this!

I love systems of this form factor! That print sounds really handy to have. I did finally buy a GoTek. Now I need to buy a 3D printer. Not sure how I’ve made it this long without one…

Those "desktop-style" cases are awesome. I especially love the versions that have 3+ 5.25" bays in addition to a dedicated external 3.5" bay. I love a good tower vut I've always had a soft spot for desktop cases.
The 486 system I kept from when I was a kid just had 3x5.25" bays, which meant I had to get creative when I wanted a CD-ROM, a proper 3.5" drive, a GoTek floppy and a compact flash adapter in the front. I ended up designing and printing a 5.25" tray that holds both the GoTek parts (screen, knob, buttons and USB port) and had an easy access slot for a CF card. This left two bays free for the other devices.
(I open-sourced the tray and a couple of friends already printed their own as well.)
