Mine too. That's what I spent my one (1) 5.25" external bay on.
The old tower that's stacked full of other disk drives is in the basement, where I can get to it if I ever need it. I find myself needing it more often than you'd think, usually courtesy of others who just rediscovered some irreplaceable personal thing on some damn fool floppy disk or another that they want back.
Huh, I wish I knew more people who had kept things. Most of the people I know are fairly tech forward and so upgraded per format any data they cared about on their own. I do have an a few older towers around though, just in case!
