The front has a disc holder.
Retrobrighted the front blank plates but otherwise everything was cleaned with a magic eraser, isopropyl alcohol, and some old rags + shirts. It's gonna eventually be a 98SE + 2000 dual boot rig for late 90s/early 2000s games. Plan is to bump it up to 1.1GHz 512MB RAM 40GB 7200RPM HD ATI RADEON 9600SE and it'll be all set.
