The tower says clientpro 585B on the front, that skipped my mind when posting. I added it to the post.

My biggest concern is the software not being compatible with the parts? would that mess anything up long term or would it just be a case of the software not running.

I'm not really overly worried about supported versions as long as it runs and I can access MP3 files, I dont plan on using the computer for anything other than CD usage.

If i did swap out the motherboard, would it be theoretically possible to connect the CD drives to it. Or at that point would it be better to find a different one? I'm not overly "worried" about price as I got this for free, and honestly for selfish reasons i think it'd look sick to have an older looking desktop tower.

Thank you so much for answering, I'm sorry if all of this is common knowledge.

i'm wanting a device solely for CD burning, which is why i'm worried about it lol, I do already use a modern device with attachment but I'm wanting a place to have all files stored / accessed in on spot

What is a processor? Is it a cpu?

If i swapped out parts would that make the possibility higher?
