This is very cool! Move all that noisy hardware out of the room or far enough away that you don't hear it.

Yup, but you could hook up a usb 2.0 dvd/cd drive to the unit.

Believe me, having all the noise from the computer/drives/etc. removed from your work area is a huge improvement. Haven't you ever walked into your office when the computer(s) are all off an noticed how quiet it is? Wouldn't it be nice always having it that quiet?
