Lets see... yes, this being my \'old\' computer, it has an ordinary CD reader, since that\'s the drive I use to rip all my music CDs. The top right... that\'s my \'old old\' comptuer\'s external SCSI DVD/RW, very old... it\'s a 1x writer, as I recall. Don\'t really use it much anymore (obviously). That computer is basically there more like a print server and scanner station now.
To make things clear:
My good computer - is current, fast, and kept completely clean. I use it exclusively for gaming. Not pictured.
My \'old\' computer - Is a few years old now, has lots of HDD space (600 GB), and my CD/DVD Burners/readers hooked up to it. I use this computer for day-to-day surfing, burning, ripping, crunching, media playback, and downloading. It\'s a lot \'messier\', and I have to format/reinstall every year or so because of all the crap I use it for. It\'s the black w blue computer that the HDD is sitting on.
My \'old old\' computer is quite old, I think it\'s a PIII, which I use as a print server/scanning station. Everything of course is networked nicely, but in general that computer mostly sits there crunching SETI@home
It\'s the regular ol\' beige computer under the very old external DVD/RW.
Generally I buy a new computer every 2-3 years, and everything moves \'down a level\'. So in a couple years, I\'ll get rid of the \'old old\' beige computer, my black/blue computer becomes my print/scan station, my current gaming computer becomes my day-to-day, and I build a new gaming rig.
