I have a very nice CF-T5 MWETZBM that I would like to get back into stock/factory specs. It came to me without the HDD and software. First time posting, so please be gentle. Thanks!

There is really nothing to the caddy,a plastic sleeve and foam,I would just use a couple of strips of padded foam and any ide drive and you will be in business.
Is the bottom cover there? If not that's a different story.Got to have that cover.

He is correct, not much to it. It's the same thing for the T5,7,8 and the W and Y models. Just a little foam. The T5 will be fanless, but also uses a Micro RAM. If you decide you like that model and want a newer one. Look for a T8. That would give you SATA hookup for the hard drive, It has a fan, uses standard size ram and LED screen.

Thanks for the replies, y'all. I have not cracked the case on the T5 yet. Its hard drive was replaced with a 60GB solid state module; running Xubuntu 14.04.
I got a 64GB SDHC dedicated to this machine for data files. Works nicely.
Maybe I should leave this little hot-rod alone....
