Is an installed CD drive concealed by a door or is it visible?

It's visible. The case comes with blanking plates in front of the 5.25" cavities to give it a clean look. You remove those as needed for your setup.

The CD drive is visible. It is really the only thing that ruins the clean aesthetics of this case.

If it's the model with the large window I doubt it. Even If you can remove a hard drive bay I doubt it. If you mean can you put it inside 2 5.25 where it's supposed to go then the Back should be hidden.

I used the system profiler to check mine. I believe you can right click and select get info to see the specifics of the drive as well

CD driver ships with the motherboard, cables and I/O shield in a plain brown box - not a retail box

No, as a matter of fact we purchased four for our after-school program but never checked to see if there was a cd slot because when purchasing the desktop it stated there was. There's a area that say cd, but it does not open (Camouflaged). We have had so many issues with these computers.

The picture is of a drive with the cover off to show the inner workings of the drive. This makes the image more appealing because it has more substance than a boring cover. All drives are completely sealed in a dust free environment at the factory and must be in order to work. No spinning hard drives work when uncovered due to dust.

Hi John, this product has the "door" that opens in the front and comes out for you to load your CD. Pretty much suitable to fit into small spaces, especially low rack spaces. Your controls are all in the front and it comes with a handy remote control. I love my product.

Yes, absolutely. It's a nice feature because it's hidden behind the faceplate. The button in the top right corner makes the faceplate swing open and reveal the single CD player.

It's been aawhile since I configured and installed my system but I'm pretty sure there were hidden door sensors. Mounted in the jam I believe.

Yes, behind the red slider. It slowly blinks when the drive is plugged in and idle.

You should not need to open the drive to expose the interior. Just attach the USB cable to the drive and attach the other end of the cable to a USB 2.0 port on your PC. Your PC should recognize he drive and you are ready to go.

Thanks for your question. There is loading access for CDs on the front panel. This is an awesome sounding system.

The hard drive is fully covered in a metal case, it is not open like the picture.

It is not see-through. I have plastic crates full of stuff behind mine and you could not see them.

Likely not the caddy (which basically to secure the drive in place). Possibilities: loose connection(s) such as drive not firmly inserted to the inner mini sata connector, etc.

I can't see it being a problem. Mine has a lever you close to secure the unit in the CD drive that's located in the center of the unit.

Backlit (which is standard nowadays), I'm not sure about the optical drive...
