it is very much a 'legacy' system that has no clue what uefi is. but it has plenty of ram, decent-enough gpu, and the cpu is still faster than some of the cheap shit sold today by the major oems.

my ideal setup at one time was a huge case with lots of drive bays and a switch or switches on front to choose which drives to have connected and powered-up.
i only ever got so far as to have the case and a few drives. i did 'dual boot' it for years, though, by simply swapping cables internally. lateral bays put the connectors close to the side panel, which itself was easy to slide on and off. it wasn't very often, so i never got 'motivated enough' to get the switch for it.
i never have had an opportunity to pull or salvage a functional hot-swappable bay or enclosure and sleds. i did run across one once, but internally it was usb 2 so it got tossed on the recycle pile like the old junk it came in.
