Here’s something I haven’t done since… oh… I dunno, 2002…? I purchased a new internal DVDR/RW drive for the PC I salvaged and it was only $33! The prior owner of this PC (definitely a teenager) must have used the drive as a literal cup holder because it’s sticky and will not eject.
Why would you want this, you ask? Mostly to archive albums (or films) I come across on the cheap at second hand stores.
The next upgrade is a new or used (if I can find) chassis, this thing is beyond cleaning (teenagers…) and will be easier to just relocate the internals. However, my initial lazy search has only yielded cases without external drive bays! It’s just fans up, over and behind! Jokes on me I guess…
