I've only seen the one model of U5; there's space under the CD-ROM for
an *internal* 5.25" device if you really wanted it, but there's only one
external 5.25" opening (used by the cdrom).


As for the Creator card, the card itself is taller than the case; you'd
have to do a lot of hacking away and have a card sticking through your
top cover.  Easier to just find a used U10 case/ps and riser card and
move your motherboard over (and U10 cases are impossible to find...)

Bill (like my u10 much more than the u5, but I hate how you have to 
 TURN IT OVER to take the case off... how bass-ackwards).
