So do I but all mine are 8".  However having a H207 dual 8" makes it work
as the h207 has a very similar size and look as the CCS crate (long to the 
back and narrow).  As a result I've never fitted 5.25 to the CCS, no need.

I've been tempted to fit 3.5" drives to it as it would do 720/780k formats
as is off the 5.25 interface.  All I'd have to do is tweek the BIOS for 
that(2S, 80C, 512 format) and maybe tweek the formatter for 80 cylinders
and 2 sides.
