Saw this tower at a flea market and I’m wondering what’s installed above the 5.25" floppy drive. Does anyone know?
HDD tray with external fan, I had one just like this.

I see. Thanks!
It’s a 5.25" slot cover, duh! You’ve got three of them.
(Plus a hard drive with a vent, a 3.5-to-5.25" floppy adapter, and a CD ROM drive)
iirc theres an scsi drive in my basement that kinda looks like that
That’s what I was thinking. Could be that or a tray for an internal HDD.
yea that too
That’s how it speaks to you, like KITT from Night Rider.
Looks like a hard drive to me. All my hard drives used to look like that except with a black faceplate.
Rain.
Sitting on the 5.25" of the bay watching the drives roll away Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the 5.25" of the bay Wastin' time
Aftermarket hard drive maybe?
I think this whole rig is aftermarket. Happy times
