I think your out of luck IdoLev as the spec for your case indicate "0" 5.25inch bays.
You do however have USB2.0 x 2, USB3.0 x 1 .

Have a look at the GX330.

Don't give up.

I want 1,preferably 2,external 5.25 bays too-on a nice case!

People try to talk you out of it,but in my situation, an open 5.25 slot would make my life easier.

Shoot! I'm bucking the trend and looking into BluRay/M-Disk drives. I'll need 2 slots!

Best backup ever! (I don't want the Cloud to back up my data;and external burners defeat the purpose of a case)
