Especially if the only usb ports available are at the back :-D But now
for real... I don't think it's *far* easier to access DVD drive when
it's facing you or when it's in Pavel's setup. I'd even say the easiness
is comparable (after all in notebook I also have a DVD drive on its side
and the thing that bugs me most is front facing audio out/in-put)... But
that does not alter the fact that most people have the tower under their
desk...
