August 8, 201015 yr Does anyone know of a card reader, or something else other than a slim DVD burner that can go in one of those slots?
August 8, 201015 yr If you get the Scythe "Kama-Panel", it comes with a slim-insert that is a 4-fan controller. http://www.scythe-usa.com/product/acc/015/Conpane4.html

August 9, 201015 yr Author First I want to say thank you for the suggestions. I seriously though about buying that fan speed regulator to fill the slot even though I don't have any non-temp controlled fans. But tonight I drank some booze to increase my Google-FU (I am a little Jackie Chan in that way), and I found what I was looking for: http://www.idotpc.com/TheStore/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=74&idproduct=713 Slim DVD slot to compact flash reader. But on this website there is something even more interesting: http://www.idotpc.com/TheStore/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=780 There is a bracket to mount a 2.5 inch drive in that space. I purchased that to mount my HTPC's SSD in (and get some real use of the slot). On a Norco though that could be used to mount a 2.5 inch cache drive, so I am happy to share the info!
August 9, 201015 yr That 2.5" mount is pretty cool! Thanks for everyone's input. I saved all the links!
August 9, 201015 yr Oh, when you said slim slot you where not kidding. Wow.......... I was thinking 3.5 for some reason. The last one I posted I thought was kinda nifty thou. DVD slim drive along with a spot for a 2.5 inch drive. Talk about stuffing as much as you can in one spot.
August 9, 201015 yr Author The reason for my asking is my HTPC is built in the type A one of these: http://www.g-alantic.com.tw/g-ga620ibk.htm It was the only flat Mini ITX case I could find that would let me upgrade the GPU which I feel is essential to keeping the HTPC modern. I found one displaying Departure Times in an Airport and tracked down the product online. In that case I can upgrade the GPU on my ION board to even a two slot GPU, but to do so I have to remove the HD mount so I had to mount my SSD with velcro (and I hated that). So this solution uses the drive bay and gives the SSD a slot which rocks!!!! I am a very happy camper!
