<pixie> For this trick, you will need a Dell Poweredge 2650 and a compact disc (we used
<pixie> an SQL Server 2000 installation disc)
<pixie> Simply place the CD into the drive, close it and then open it again. Watch your
<pixie> audience gasp in amazement as the CD drive opens again completely empty!
<pixie> For added show value, you can open the case of the server and show all the
<pixie> internals, but with no sign of the CD anywhere!
<pixie> The secret lies in placing the CD on a slight angle so it's tilted upwards
<pixie> towards the back of the server. On closing the door, the CD will slot into the
<pixie> space between the CD drive and the first hard disc. NB - you will need two
<pixie> screwdrivers and a lot of patience to get your CD back.
