The most interesting thing was that the optical drive appears to be fairly customised for the system. It uses a custom power connector, rather than the 4-pin one found on most IDE drives. I suspect this is connector also allows the eject button to work. OK, I have already opened it up and after a few yawns I closed it up again.

How about taking it apart and then turning it into some kind of fishbowl...might take a fair bit of modding though. But you get to both pull it apart and make it into something constructive. fire or windows are good….but a little less than constructive.
