Just pulled the spastic NeXT Optical Drive from my early Cube. Looks like new. Kind of sucks it does not work. Even the filter is super clean. Mine spins up but never mounts the OD disk. It also revs up and down all the time for now reason. So, I pulled it. I suppose I will keep it for nostalgia unless someone pays big $$ for non working ones. hehehe.
Here is a tribute to the mighty OD Drive.

Why pull it? leave it inside your cube to fill space.
