the number of years i've run usb->sata adapters and had (up to a dozen or so) bare drives laying around and propped up anywhere i could find a spot...

you aren't putting a 3.5in in that slimline bay. you might be able to rig something to hold one there, though. that's where the get ''creative'' part comes in.
you also have the 2x2.5in at the bottom but you're missing the rails or caddies for them. should be like 5-6 bucks each or so on ebay or azn. don't bother with those, though, unless you're putting in hdd there. sata ssd can just be stuffed in the cage, they ain't going anywhere.
be careful with whatever mb->sata power cables you have. make sure they're the correct ones, as they aren't all the same. you could get away with a 1->2 sata power splitter once on each mb power connection, as the output of each is designed for 2x3.5in hdd anyway.
edit: just looked at a similar model here. removing the slimline optical and stuffing a 3.5in hdd there will obstruct the cpu hsf a bit. might have to swap that for a lower profile cooler to put the drive there..... BUT. if you take out the existing hdd (because its caddy thing gets in the way), there is just enough room along the flipout bit between that hdd bay and the 2.5in cage below to fit a 3.5in. would need a little 'modification' to the case there to rig a mount for it. but it fits. then the existing hdd can slide back in. (see pic, the ancient seagate hdd is placed in that space)
why we need this? wasn't muskrat supposed to save like 3x that all by his little self?
we could also do m4a and save that much or more on health care--every two years.
and, i got you paying my rent and feeding me. so, who's the one with just a single brain cell here, buddy...
more of biden's infrastructure bill money to steal.. congressionally approved and allocated money. early site prep has already begun, even.
letting muskrat anywhere near this has great potential to really fuck-up the entire northeast corridor for a decade or two--or longer, for passengers and freight.
doesn't change the fact the bk fakemac as served in the restaurant at the time absolutely never ever looked like the menu pic, and quite literally impossible for them to create in-store using any items in inventory.
you're talking the 'RED' series inspiron minitower?
iirc there's only one 3.5in bay adjacent to the slimline optical bay, and two 2.5in bays in a cage at the bottom front.
bays use drive rails which may or may not be present if the bay was unpopulated when originally shipped.
the pc uses 12vo power supply, so the drives are powered off the motherboard. those cables may also not be present if they weren't needed for the original configuration.
slimline optical bays can often be filled with a caddy designed fit in the form factor, connecting to the optical power and sata, and hold a 2.5in ssd drive.
you will have to get ''creative'' to securely mount more than one 3.5in hdd inside.
the other 'p' is publisher? they've pulled the plug on that one too. will literally get yanked from 365 subscribers in october 2026.
if you want to ensure you have this application (i have a number of clients that rely on it) long-term, you need to buy a perpetual license for an office edition that includes it.
they're gonna use 'all in' pricing to hide the bullshit charges even more than before.
that just means more social security funds they can pilfer.
oh, who am i kidding. like that'll even be there at all once they've stolen the entire fund.
you can certainly mix-and-match display sizes and resolutions. the system i am typing on now has 24in 16:9 and 19in 5:4. i am constantly flipping which screen or both (or neither, for that matter--there are other things connected to other inputs on them) is active on this pc
i don't do smartphones, but i have this site bookmarked for other things and found these instructions there for the yt app: android and iphone/ios
for computers, there are third-party addons to add functionality to youtube's web site. some provide point-and-click blocking functionality.
third-party apps, as long as they're still 'allowed', may also have the extra functionality you're looking for.
