Right now I use a sata dockon my desk that I picked up for cheap and I actually plan on making both a vintage console case for it and another for the sata to usb board that I gutted out of an external hdd. Also the other commenter made a great point about putting a hotswap port in a tower, that's my ideal scenario if I can get a micro-pc. I salvaged an old pc years ago that had a WD My Passport dock in the case where a disk drive would go, I thought that would've been the coolest thing ever but it was obsolete before I got it.
