Um... I'm slightly confused. Why do you need to be able to access your CD drive to install a new OS? Well, I mean, the BIOS will handle booting from an install CD.
And if the computer you're getting is so old the BIOS can't boot from CD, don't bid.
At least I can appreciate the humor in this LOLCODE; it isn't funny when our our robot goes backwards in hybrid mode - sgreco [more]
