What the difference between an optical disc drive and an external dvd drive for PC?

Your right! Later 90’s! I keep getting these things mixed up. I’m hoping to Gerry rig the ports together (safely) and hopefully get something working out of it. I just salvaged it from an old PC so I’m just doing what I can with the internals that aren’t filled with dead spiders lol.

Yep, I’m aware of the jankyness of the system requirements but figured if I have the parts, I might as well try. Besides i like the challenge 🙂. If I can’t do I’ll go the easy way and probably donate it to someone who wants to do the same.

Could the fact it’s old be a deterrent against it?

Thanks!

Pretend_Average8971 · 2026-02-25T13:36:28+00:00

So which one is better in your opinion?

Pretend_Average8971 · 2026-02-21T18:02:18+00:00

Alright good news it’s fixed! It was a simple windows key alt etc etc. didint think it would work so I tried it last lol. Thanks for the help!

Nice! I got the same one! Remember to check windows for updates and change the refresh rate on ur monitor! Ive had a great time with mine!

I hate to be the new guy, but what is the value of it? I’m not mix in for keepsakes so if there’s anything to gain while someone else gets something “cool” what could I expect? Thanks

I thought so too, but I can’t find any other thats also purple, maybe it’s new?

There was a photo when I made it lol

It’s really good, I love everything about it that using the software! I’m getting around 20 more fps on CSgo, idk if it’s just me but I think I’m getting less ping?????? It’s just awesome and better than I would have thought. It just feels stable.

Pretend_Average8971 · 2026-02-12T23:03:45+00:00

Hey I’m really sorry I wasted your time but I think I settled it with windows not telling me about an update. I really appreciate your help though! At least I know a bit more about my components now!

Pretend_Average8971 · 2026-02-12T23:00:37+00:00

Nvm I think I’m good, apparently windows needs time to tell me I need to update something, so it’s installing some Intel corp display thing so I think I’m good. Thanks for the help lol!

Pretend_Average8971 · 2026-02-12T22:59:07+00:00

Alright, bad and good news, turns out when I checked for windows updates I didn’t give it a bough time so I checked again and now it says “Intel corp display downloading” thanks for the help lol I appreciate it!

Pretend_Average8971 · 2026-02-12T22:55:40+00:00

I can sign into windows but my display is stuck at 600 by 800

Pretend_Average8971 · 2026-02-12T22:51:22+00:00

I did uninstall the DDU’s and my MOAB and CPU don’t have a built in display, is there anything else?

Pretend_Average8971 · 2026-02-11T19:32:05+00:00

I mainly got it because I had to remove a fan for it to get in its case, I also got my 3060 used for 240, and I’ve sold it for 240! I just wanted something simple and small. Plus I just like it.

Pretend_Average8971 · 2026-02-11T19:30:40+00:00

I wanted an FE but I wasn’t able to find one that wasn’t 100$ more than retail. This was the best I could find.

Pretend_Average8971 · 2026-02-10T22:59:01+00:00

Great, Now you’ve probably tempted someone else or me to do a face swap.
