    ive got 2 of those, i sell at flea markets and was thinking about trying to sell them there, if they dont sell in their original configuration i was thinking about taking the cover off, drilling a hole in it and put a cheap battery opperated clock in it and see how it goes then

    I have never seen one of those 5.25" in person. I have been itching to scrap one though.

    that's not one of the older 5.25 inchers, it's actually known as a "bigfoot". I have one that's 3.2gb and another, thicker one, that's a 5.25gb (i think it was). Google quantum bigfoot for info on those ones
