Is it a pick-me-up? If so, good pricing. The ram and ssd alone are worth more than the cost. If you intend to hold on to it for the long haul though, that's a worse idea. It has no upgrade paths, and all upgrades involve other upgrades to the point where starting fresh with 400-600 dollar build is better.

I used to use hot swap bays. It made it easy for sharing files with a friend of mine, who also had one. Of course this was long before there were even 1gb thumb drives. No need for them once the size of thumb drives grew. This was late 90's/early 2000's.

Hot swap bays are used for parenting. Use a small OS drive with no room for games mounted in the case and Install games to the removeable drive bay. They can have their game drive back after homework, chores or end of punishment/grounding.

I used swappable disk bays for years when I worked at a training facility. It let us load drives for the next week while machines were being used for this week, as well as for trainers to have their own dedicated drives they carried between rooms. Super handy. But not a normal use case!

Hot swap bays where the cheapest and fastest way to move heavy files. Hell, it probably still is because in general a hdd in a hotswap bay is faster then a usb based external drive or flashdrive. I installed a hotswap bay to my girlfriends computer and it made it real conveint to just swap in a whole hd full of movies.

[@doctorwhodj]

What hurts this pc the most is single core ipc. Same weakness as when fx was current and competing with intel core 3rd and 4th gen. I remember an i3-4130 slapped the snot of a fx-8350 in terms of average fps and 1%lows.

[@RyanGrange]

6 bay icy dock on my TrueNAS server loaded with SSDs. Got sick of having to pull the system out to get at internal drives if one started to fail. So yes, big fan of hot swap bays. Though I use it for easy access. I still power down before swapping out a bad drive.

this would be a good computer to get if you have other better parts that you can put in from previous builds that died for various reasons, like lets say the psu died on one and you can just transplant a better CPU, provided you got one that's compatible with the mobo, and a better gpu, then you might have something that might be able to keep up with newer games, if you're looking for something that runs older games just fine? then this pc might be great for those looking to play some classics.
