Does anyone know where I can get CDROM's that don't use trays to load
the CD's? For example, a CD in a player accepts CD's without the trays,
and I have seen a couple around on Compaqs, but is there an aftermarket
seller of this type?

    Also, I am looking for an analog meter to put on my case that
indicates RAM consumption. Is any hardware available for anything like
this?
