Hi
 If the case you have is the grey and green minitower then the
 Cd-Rom drive you'll need is the older BTC 6x/8x/10x and I think the
 12x drive. The curved plastic "nose" piece clips onto the tray. BTC
 manufactured the drives under a multitude of different brands
 Creative is one. The newer drives have a trapdoor that the tray
 pops out through, and unfourtunately the nose bit will not clip on to the
 newer style tray. I don't think the old style tray is still made.
  To get the cover off, open the hinged  front panel, [pivots right to left]
 inside you'll see a half round recessed handle.. just above it is a small
 diagramed locking fastener, turn it with a screwdriver to unlocked
 and pull the half round handle forward and the cover will slide off.
  A used Cd-rom drive should cost around the $30 to $40 range in the
 newsgroups.
 There is an additional bay under the cd-rom that a newer drive can be
fitted
 but you'd have to open the front "door" to use it.
  Sounds basic but have you tried a lens cleaner cd. The cd-rom drives
  have the face plates removed and they tend to get a lot of crud in them.
