I still say not hard at all..
True, but the reason for wanting 5V off the 12V rail may not be valid. Remember, you're proposing to add a DC-DC converter, which will be an unnecessary heatsource, and additional point of failure.

If it's so easy, then why is the 5V line still available for the 5 1/4 bays?
