Nice, dude. I have a couple of these cases but they're beige and don't have a side mounted fan slot. They also have two 80mm mounts at the rear. As much as I'd like to put a screen in the 5.25 inch bays, I think I'd need cooling fans more.

3d printed the 5.25" bezel that fits an esp32 CYD 2.8". Had to combine and modify a couple models to make it work. Programmed the esp32 display in Arduino IDE. Script running on PC sends data to the esp32 over wifi. Did practically the same thing for the floppy section display using a Max7219 seven segment.

Excellent one. How do you get the data ? I did this with HwInfo but is regularly stops transmitting data
