Reddit mentions of COSMOS desktop computer ATX/MATX companion, blank drawer rack (5.25"), for computer accessories/storage devices+Cosmos Cable Tie

This drawer for your USB drives, adapters, memory cards, etc. Looks silly and has crappy build quality, but it's damn convenient.

There are also card readers for your unused 3.5" or 5.25" bays I own that specific one, and there's not much to say about it. It's functional so if you need one, it'll be worthwhile. I will note I had to open that one and cut out the power LED because it was so blindingly bright and unnecessary (it's built into my computer-- once I've tested it once I can assume it's turned on whenever my computer is turned on). But that was an easy fix and besides, $7 card reader, do you expect perfection?

Buy a 5.25" storage drawer, one like this

This right here. I keep all of my flash drives in it and it is EXTREMELY handy!

Yup here's the link I dug it out of my purchase history lol. I bought one about 4 or 5 years ago and haven't regretted it since. Perfect for storing memory cards/SD cards.

Cable drawer perhaps? Such as this.

Right now I have I only have a CD/DVD drive in my drive bay which is pretty useless sooooo I've been thinking about rearranging my case innards to take advantage of my drive bays more and improve case airflow!

I have a Fractal Design Define R4 and I'm currently using the bottom storage drive rack inside the case. However, this is removable which would allow my front fans push more intake air. I'll have to remount my SSD and HDD first though. I can mount my SSD to a special side mount behind the motherboard. For the HDD I'm going to get a 3.5" to 5.25" drive bay adapter mount and remove my CD/DVD drive. In my second drive bay I'm going to put a simple drawer to help me organize my desk up a bit :P.

Like this? Also don't worry about antistatic bags.

maybe a little drawer?

This is what's everyone needs:

You might want to keep screws/zip ties and similar tools in something like this: http://www.amazon.com/desktop-computer-companion-accessories-Cosmos/dp/B006VAD2C6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421687836&sr=8-1&keywords=computer+drawer&pebp=1421687842261&peasin=B006VAD2C6

Besides this, that sucks. Tell your parents that you won't be able to sell these parts and see what they say.

Everyone suggests a little drawer

Pretty nifty, couple of my friends put Hue controllers fort heir RGB setups. Otherwise the Drawer is probably the best bet.

Available on Amazon

I have a storage drawer in a 5.25 slot similar to this thing, had one for years now.

Fan controller, card reader, hotswap drive bay, drawer, tape drive, programmable LCD

Here's one

I've had my eye on that case for a while, it looks sooo good. BUT... the sideways 5.25” bays means you can’t have one of these

How about a drawer for your case

5.25 inch drawer

When I said power LED, I meant the single light that surrounds the power button on the front. This one. Besides that, there aren't any other lights on it.

Yeah, one of my optical drives currently has this DVD burner, which I've only used once for the install discs and nothing else since. And for that, you could always just get the software directly from the sellers' websites, though it might take some searching to find. Also, there are external DVD drives that plug into USB if you ever do need one.

For the other optical drive, I actually put a little drawer in it. I bought this one off of Amazon and I use it to hold flashdrives, small cables, SD cards, and other random crap. It's actually really convenient and stop me from always losing those things.

Check out these things, I use a few drawers similar to this for the small bits. It's a great way to make use of those unused drive bays.

I have one of these and although it doesn't slide very well I really like having it to put software disks and thumb drives and so forth in.

Lots of options, some of them basic, some of them very fancy.
I find myself wanting one of these.

there's usb3 or SD + etc card slots that you could add if you ever use those. or add a little drawer

There are a few other brands out there that I can find, but unfortunately all of them seem to all be pretty crap quality (cheap plastic). The idea was just so cool I had to post it.

Here are the others I found.

Knocking thanks so much for your help, I've been doing my own research on building a pc and I keep finding myself coming to the same choices you made. Absolutely superb job.

I chose to go with a Fractal Design Define R5 case(reccomend here: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1422-page1.html), added an optical drive and a wireless network adapter.
I have 4 questions for you.

Does this build look ok? There is a note at the bottom- "Fractal Design Define R5 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case has front panel USB 3.0 ports, but the Biostar H81MHV3 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard does not have onboard USB 3.0 headers." is that wrong?
Do I need to buy a heat-sink?
Do you think it would be worth it to get this better CPU?
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646i54590
http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-4590-vs-Intel-Core-i5-4460

So I'm going to use one of the 5.25 spaces for a optical drive right? Is there any downside to putting in one of these drawers in the other one?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006VAD2C6/ref=gno_cart_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AJ786EBAEN7CX
I could always use more storage space!

1. I needed somewhere to hide my weed.
   
   
2. 720p Porn on my laptop wasn't cutting it.
   
   
3. My parents actually allowed it... I just popped the question out of the blue and they said OK. Apparently my dad built computers when they were dating and he said he's learned a lot from it. So they let me use my own money to buy parts and stuff. But what did I do? I wanted more. I wanted an i5 build with ATLEAST a 760 or a 7950. But being stingy and being from an entrepreneur family, I decided to buy a build on craigslist that I knew was worth more than $500 dollars and part out on /r/hardwareswap. I did just that. I used maybe $600 to get an i5-2500k, mATX fata1ity pro-m, 8 gig of ram, gtx 760, 700W modular PSU, a cherry mx blue mechanical keyboard, razer deathadder, and w8 + microsoft office gaming PC.

Cheaper at amazon

Not as important as the other answers but it will make your build quite lighter. Also check out this life hack.

Well there is the accessories drawer.

And of course if you can find one.

The most popular options for 5.25" bays (that is what you're referring to, right?) are:

drawer

card reader/USB bay

NZXT Hue

Hot swap bay

maybe some other more niche ones that I'm not aware of

well it would serve a slight purpose but you could buy something similar to these
http://www.amazon.com/desktop-computer-companion-accessories-Cosmos/dp/B006VAD2C6

I wouldn't necessarily recommend these, but you can consider them.

You can get 3.5" to 5.25" brackets to mount your hard drives and remove your drive cage. You can get a USB hub that connects straight to your motherboard for more ports. Fan controllers. You can get an SD card reader. You can get a drawer like this one to store things like screws or USB sticks.

Here are a few ideas

• Drawer
  
  
• Hotswap Drive Bay
  
  This article has what I mentioned and some more for you to look at.

If you have some empty 5.25 drive bays, consider getting some dank drive drawers. It's surprisingly useful.

If you have a window in that case, add LEDs for that RGB meme factor.

Upgrade to water cooling. Look into custom loops if you're going all in.

Do you have a reference on it being better? From the reviews I could read, it was more or less the same, but as a noob, MSI's software seems nicer and more idiot-proof (esp. for a first step of OC'ing).

I had a bit of apprehension towards the h440 about limited air intake, but it's going to muffle the sound enough, so that's great. My dreams of getting a secret drawer would be gone though.

you can get it on amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/desktop-computer-companion-accessories-Cosmos/dp/B006VAD2C6

i own one. it's alright. if you move your PC a lot for whatever reason, you'll probably take it out.

Okay... Where do I get this?
EDIT: Found the amazon link, sorry. LINK

Sad seeing all them drive bays unused, OP.

Get you one of these my dude. Store all kinds of knick knacks in there.

Ya its cool

A drawer seems like it would be pretty handy.
