gravy Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 i found a site that shows how to slipstream your RAID/SATA or any other drivers onto your slipstreamed XP disc so it's not an issue now, i will keep it in the closet until i don't need it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobalt Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 I always put one in every system i build but i tend to agree they're not much use anymore but you never know. Some day soon, they will disapear like the 5-1/4 floppy <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchalogamer Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 someay they will go bye bye, but i dont think the CD-RW will replac them, USB thumbdrives and external HDDs will. a 128mb thumb drive is what $20? Unless u use old Win 95 PCs there isnt much of a floppy need as far as everyday stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberbeer Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 I got rid of mine, but I do have an external Superdisk for floppy usage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flareback Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 I just built mine and didn't put one in. I did have to attach one to install some stuff but then i just took it back out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTSticky Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 The floppy bay(s) that Lian-Li cases have fit an 80mm intake fan perfectly. I've got floppy drives in drawers for the occasional install, but in general floppies are worthless 99% of the time imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sYstEmATiC Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 as long as they continue to make 3.5in disks, then i will have one in my systems.....when they quit making them, then i will start taking them out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
