Abstract: An optical disk drive assembly includes a hollow housing, an optical disk drive, and a control panel. The hollow housing has a bottom wall, and a front opening formed at a front end of the bottom wall. The optical disk drive is mounted inside the hollow housing and is disposed rearwardly of the front end of the bottom wall. The control panel is movably disposed forwardly of the optical disk drive at the front end of the bottom wall. The control panel has a plurality of control keys disposed on a side face thereof. The control keys are connected electrically to the optical disk drive for manipulation of the optical disk drive. The control panel is mounted pivotally inside the hollow housing about a pivot axis that extends in a lateral direction substantially transverse to a front-to-rear direction of the hollow housing to turn between a first position and a second position.

Abstract: An optical disk drive assembly includes a hollow housing, an optical disk drive, and a control panel. The hollow housing has a bottom wall, two opposite side walls extending upwardly from two opposite sides of the bottom wall, a rear wall extending upwardly from a rear end of the bottom wall, and a front opening formed at a front end of the bottom wall and opposed to the rear wall. The optical disk drive is mounted inside the hollow housing. The optical disk drive is spaced apart from and is disposed above the bottom wall to define a clearance therebetween. The control panel is movably received in the clearance. The control panel has a front end, and a plurality of control keys disposed adjacent to the front end of the control panel and connected electrically to the optical disk drive for manipulation of the optical disk drive.
