| plenty do. They're just slowly phasing it out still. Unless you have an absolute need for one there are external solutions that work just as good. |

Most case manufacturers don't waste time/money on 5.25" bays when they're making the tooling for new cases these days. People haven't really been using 5.25" bays for like a decade now. So yeah, a lot of newer cases aren't designed for use with 5.25" drives. That said, there are still plenty of good quality older cases with 5.25" bays. There are also some exceptions, the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M uses the same tooling as a P400A, but the Pro M comes with a 5.25" bay. The Cooler Master NR600 has a variant with a 5.25" bay.
