Drive bay FM Radio?

We are eliminating CD-ROM drives from our workstations at work and I would like to know if anyone knows of an FM Radio that fits in either a 3.5" or 5.25" drive bay on a PC? Has anyone ever seen them? Hell, they make an entire PC that fits in a 5.25" bay, I'm sure they can make an FM radio that does. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Because we don't want anyone to bring in their own radios, walkman, etc. onto the site. If we provide for them, they we won't have to deal with them bringing in their own gear and getting it stolen, damaged, etc.
 
I'm also interested in this. I'm going to be moving my receiver to the living room soon and I won't be able to listen to FM radio when working on my PC. 🙂

Would a tv tuner card with an FM tuner also work? Some Hauppauge cards have FM tuners on them. I'd be more interested in the 5.25" bay radio though. 🙂
 
TV Tuner does work as I've used that at home. I thought I remembered seeing a drive bay radio before, but I cannot for the life of me remember where or when or even if it was just something I thought of inventing.

If you can't find it w/ Google, I'd guess it's not available...opportunity for some inventor perhaps ;-)
 
You could take one of those D-link radio's and hide it inside of the case, however you would need someone to convert the USB plug to internal USB or something. Good luck

Duct tape a walkman to the sides of the computers! 🙂
