-Towns Tower models generally have the ironic look having a vertical CD Rom drive.   What is uncommon when importing them is the plastic bezel to crack on the CD rom drive.  It's recommended to add additional protection on your package before importing your computer. There are four generations of tower models with different quirks.

Pay attention to it carefully.
