Fractal Design's Pop cases have a 5.25" bay. It's hidden behind a pop-off panel at the bottom, in the power supply basement.

Water bottle that auto seals and is easy to clean.

I need an ecmascript library that demuxes mpeg when fed individual frames. Every lib just wants to take in a whole file or URL to a stream. I need to filter the websocket sending the data so I need to feed individual frames to the lib. I'm only finding commonjs libs that do this
Rootable Android (or Linux) based "mp3 player". Basically an iPod touch. No cell radio.
I might struggle to make it the size of an iPod Touch but that's not difficult to build out of a Raspberry Pi.
That's cool, hadn't really thought about it. Basically looking for a wifi-only device I can install Signal on.

Literally couldn't fall asleep last night, thinking about how much I'd want this and how hard it'd be to neuter a cellphone to make this.
I'm amazed I can't find such a thing on AliExpress.

A media player that isn't just a modified android tablet in a box with an HDMI output. (And loaded with spyware). And doesn't require an always-on internet connection.
What about an Android tablet running a custom ROM without GApps flashed, and an adapter for HDMI? There's a handful of widely sold tablets that also have a decent development scene and are cheap second hand. Check XDA forums for various models before deciding which one to get

Cheap large e-ink android screen. Doesn't need to do anything other than be a consistent, always on display with a long battery life.
what's "large" and what's "cheap"?
They look neat, but way too powerful and expensive, and not big enough. I want a whiteboard size e-ink display with a processor like a potato for like <100 USD

I'd really love to find a new radio for my car that: 1) can serve as a monitor for my back-up camera, and 2) isn't a fucking touch screen.
There are models that are one or the other, but I haven't found anything that's both. The closest I've found is a compromise - a touchscreen that also has a few tactile controls. But I don't want to have to rely on any touch screen when I'm driving. I simply don't feel compelled enough to spend $400+ for a frustrating half-measure.
My nissan rogue (2014-2016ish) has this
I settled on a SPH-10BT a few years ago. It didn't have backup camera support though IIRC there is a radar add-on, but don't know how available it is anymore.
It seems insane to me, especially with the prevalence of Apple/Android Auto, that no car company is willing to have the phone be the supplemental screen in the car.
That there's no built-in phone mounts in cars still bugs me. Put wireless charging on a spot on the dash, NFC/Bluetooth to get it to automatically snap into car mode. Don't have to develop an in-house UI that everyone hates and can focus on making a car.
You can easily get a case with an optical drive slot if you just get an older case. You can fit an older case with more modern components just fine. My current PC case is from 2017 and has an optical drive slot (which is fitted with an optical driveβthough I'm afraid I've not used it in years...)
As for laptops with ports, they're out there but you may have to either get an older one or pay more money annoyingly. I wish it was standard for laptops to have ethernet ports. My modern, fairly mainstream trend-following laptop has all the other ports I need (USB obviously, HDMI, and 3.5mm headphone jack).
