I've been thinking about getting creative and adding some things to my Apollo. I'll cut to the chase :

1) Definitely want a first class card reader (preferably with additional 3.0 USB ports). I keep looking over various card readers but have my reservations about many of them and was wondering what kind of all-in-one card readers the DS community people here have put on their system.

I want one to fit into the 5.25 (unused) bay on my Apollo tower and simply cannot make up my mind. Any suggestions on what I should get? Maybe some of the external card readers is the direction I should be going? Appreciate your input on this topic.

2) Even if I don't end up getting a internal card reader to fit into my 5.25 bay (maybe some of you could recommend other, external card readers) I'm thinking about getting a hot-swap drive bay (possibly for both regular HDD's or a combo HDD / SSD hot swap bay). Got any suggested ones that you all have found useful?

Again, looking for this to fit into one of the 5.25 unused drive bays on my tower. I would appreciate any input you all could offer!

3) As you can see, in general, I'm in the area of putting some accessories that would be useful into the unused drive bays on my tower. Perhaps some of you that are into some more complex case mod's could point me down the path of what I could do in a creative way to get some use of new equipment, while at the same time, modding my PC for some really useful new equipment.

I really look forward to what all everyone has to say, and again, thanks for the input!
