14 DAY TRIAL // Those wondering just what could possibly be the use of all those 5.25-inch drive bays now have their answer, more or less, in the form of a certain accessory that is exclusively meant to keep gaming peripherals secure in public places.
From small to big, most computer cases have more than one 5.35-inch drive bay, even though there isn't often much use in having more than one optical drive available. Thus, one might start to wonder what the use is for all those bays.
Fortunately, makers of PC accessories never seem to run out of ideas, leading to the appearance of curious things one may place in those front slots.
Fan controllers and drive cages are just two of those things, and NZXT just delivered yet another one, though far less common.
Simply put, it is an enclosure meant to house gamers' peripherals, particularly mice, and keep them under lock and key.
Equipped with a 20 key lock system, it has a durable door that can withstand tampering and should be more than enough to keep peripherals away from prying hands.
Those that like to frequent LAN parties and want to avoid any unfortunate incidents, so to speak, are among the likeliest to require the services of this product.
Its name is Bunker and has, as a bonus, four USB ports, so that it may earn its keep even when not playing jail, by acting as the link between the host PC and other electronics, like mice and keyboards.
"We place a great deal of importance on portability and security," said Johnny Hou, Founder and Chief Designer at NZXT.
"Whether you’re transporting your rig to a LAN party or would like more peace of mind in the dorm, Bunker will ensure that your peripherals and media remain secure," Hou added.
NZXT intends to start selling the Bunker sometime during March, for the price of $24.99.
