[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 200099, member: 8287"] I own that basic machine. Some have DVD drives and some do not. There is a button on the front of the door right in the middle above the ZIp drive. That should open it. If you want to look under the Gray cover and see if it says DVD, if you have fingernails, try to hook the top edge of the door and pull it down. They you can see if the drive says DVD on the door or front which most DVD drives do. Hope that is what you were after. Just saw your edit, the lower cover is where a ZIP drive would go if the system came with one. The upper cover should have that button. You should be able to angle it down so you can see the face of the drive. I hope your sons machine is not the PCI model but one of the AGP Graphics or Digital Audio G4. You can tell by the audio jacks on the back. The PCI Graphics G4 had the jacks side by side toward the bottom of the back panel while the better G4's with AGP graphics had them one on top of the other. [/QUOTE]
