- I have the same problem - I have the CD-ROM sticking out the back at the moment

- I have currently, 1full height 760Mbyte Maxtor, 1 halfheight 5.25" FDD,
- 1 3.5" FDD in it's own little possie and the CD-ROM. This is in a desktop unit
- with three half height slots and one 3.5" hole. I think you can get full tower with 6 half height slots.
