Wow the big kahuna himself, I don't know the name of it which means this may not help much but I remember the unique feature was the cd drives were like those for imac no slide out tray and they would work well sideways. I will try to remember were I looked at them it was a big name like phillips or nec I also remember they weren't cheap.  As soon as I find them I will email the names but I am passing this alonng because maybe somebody has quicker recall then I do.
