There is also a DVD LIGHT SCRIBE/WRITER thing. cd writer too. I believe I can burn stuff with this right? Never did this yet.

Also in the front of the tower there's stuff I have no clue what this is.

There are little slots that say SmartMedia/xd Complactflash I/II, Memory Stick/PRO and there's a slot that says MMC/SD

those listed above are card readers - for various camera memory cards {different sizes}

Also a USB 2.0 (I do know what this is) but the other stuff, forget it.

Then underneat all this there are 3 holes where I can plug in stuff only I don't know what these holes are for. They have little images over them. The holes are colored, purple, green pink. The green hole has a little icon of headphones over it. Now why would I need headphones for this hole, when my monitor has a headphone jack? See why I'm confused. Now to the right of this is three ports (I think they are ports). Oh heck, I'll take a photo of this and you can tell me what all these things are.

The colored holes are for plug ins - I think green is for speakers, pink for head phones and purple for microphone- or maybe I mixed the colors up - anyway those all connect to your sound card.

for if you want to add more speakers or if your monitor didn't have a headphone jack.

and the one near the USB is called a firewire port - but I haven't ever used it so I don't know what is is for yet..

Here we go

Here’s a photo of the front of my computer



Here’s a closeup of the front of my computer (with all the slots and everything)


Do you know what these slots are and the port things??

Thanks, you’re a genius.
