I have a couple of 2.5" SSD and would like to use with my 3.5" bays. Does anyone know where I can find a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter (not cables, but a case to fit the 2.5 drives into 3.5 bays).

Sure does, thanks. Any idea if there's a plastic version? If not I will walk to PB Tech and get these.

I've only ever seen steel mounting adapters.

Intel and Kingston with some SSD packaging ship a 'plate' which the SSD can be screwed onto and this plate mounts like a 3.5" HDD.

By 'walk' he could mean taking a stroll on a Segway.  :)

Nah, walking as is moving one foot then another one. I am doing more than 10,000 steps daily as measured by my Fitbit.

Walked there. While waiting looked around and found they have plenty of ASUS notebooks running Windows XP for sale. Go get a bargain on a no-longer supported OS:
