and why is that so bad ? I've not burned any discs for some years now, my dvd burner will likely die of old age instead of usage. Same with adding PCIe cards... I cant think of any I would need. Adding memory: agree, but haven't found what that tower supports. Adding harddisks: certainly agree, but if TB drives become common place e.g. cheaper... then 36 devices (including displays) sounds more then plenty
