As the title states, I am missing the floppy drive cage from my AOpen HT45 mid tower.

Any chance that anyone has a spare for sale, a 3D model for printing or know where I could buy one?

I did find a company (LCS Automation) in the Netherlands that apparently has new old stock of the case but, I don't trust my Google Translate skills to write an email.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dutchmen all speak English. Try emailing them.

Is this too much voodoo?

I was unaware of this, thank you.
Email sent. Now we wait.

Given their stock list, I'd wonder if that site is still live, but who knows.

The website is still open but his stock is nowhere near as good as it looks.
For AOpen he only has an H500C.
I'm seeing if they can take pics of the cage, to see if it is the same.

They list under CPUs: For example Slot A Athlon 700 MHz, available 😁 😁

Well he only has whole cases for sale no parts. That makes sense but puts it out of the question cost wise, due to shipping.

Do you have a picture of the cage you need? I never get rid of any and might just happen to have something that would work.

From the archived page, it is a 3-bay cage:

I do not have any pics of the cage. I only just figured out the model number of this case a day before I posted here.
FYI, I need the 2x3.5" floppy drive cage not the 3x5.25" optical drive cage.

Ok. The 3.5 cage should have 2 slots that you can use for external / internal and an additional one that is internal only.

That sounds right. The internal only 3.5 is probably for the HDD since, there is no current place to mount one.
