Check out "Computer SHopper" or a similar advertising magazine.  There are
numerous companies selling inexpensive 3.5" to 5.25" bay mounting kits
for older (and less useful) blue computers.  While you are hooking up
the new drive lights, have some fun and reverse them for df0: and df1:
Fool your friends, fun at parties!
