Convert a PC Drive Bay to a Docking Station

Posted by michael on from the ask-why-not dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "The Screen Savers are featuring a case mod worth looking at. This article describes how to create a docking station for your PDA out of a PC drive bay. The instructions are little hard to follow but looks feasible and the finished product is pretty slick."

  1. can't get to the pda by ArsonSmith · · Score: 0, Redundant

    this is about useless what if I want to do something on the pda?

    I guess with a linux and X pda this would be great as I could jsut export my display and run with it though.

    There are two problems with this mod:

    1) I have a full tower case that is completely full of CD-RW, DVD-ROM, ZIP, a couple HD's. So I have no room.

    and...

    2) I like to see the display on my PDA when I do certain tasks.

    Sure this mod might clear up some desk clutter but think about, is the disadvantage of losing a slot and/or buying a bigger case worth not having a PDA on your desk? I find that my PDA tucks in nicely between the monitor and speakers.
