The rest is in PCs and partially already moved to the other house.

This red package on top contains that Lite-On that burns top quality GameCube backups.
SylverReZ
Why is that specific Lite-On drive a top tier drive for burning GameCube and Wii backups?
Nikokaro
@KleinesSinchen what do you do with that stuff? Besides, they are bulky. Where does this bizarre passion come from? Are they perhaps related to some serene childhood memory?
KleinesSinchen
@SylverReZ It simply burns discs with very Pi low error count.
KleinesSinchen
@Nikokaro Collecting old computers and parts. The high number of CD/DVD drives is/was for the research regarding non-standard discs.
Bulky? What would be your answer to the stack of IBM-XT computers (hope to repair them some day), which I drove to the other house yesterday?

Have you accepted the move? What is this new house like? Do you think you will be comfortable there? Is nature present around there? You know, for jogging or relaxing walks.

"Have you accepted the move?" → 
What kind of question is this? There is no viable alternative.
"What is this new house like?" → Too small. Like the current one. Like almost all houses.
"Do you think you will be comfortable there?" → No, because: "Is nature present around there?" → No.
Maybe(!) I'll provide pictures in my blog after moving.

A sad paradox: To say goodbye to the money-centered world once and for all, you need… a lot of money.
My dream is a fairly big house with a lot of land in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a huge, high wall. Nobody to be seen anywhere near. Never leaving the own property.
Locking out the whole world and pretending it is still the 1990s while playing the SNES.

It would be like living in a security prison: hell. You should not follow your tendencies, but strive in the opposite direction: open yourself up to others (starting with those who are trustworthy). Yours is a dream of a misanthrope, yet here online you are an open, helpful, sociable person: how come? It is fear that stifles your true nature.
KleinesSinchen
"[…]living in a security prison: hell."
No. It would be living in the nature, not in prison (concrete desert → like it WILL soon be in reality).
"yet here online you are an open, helpful, sociable person: how come? It is fear that stifles your true nature."
Fear. Yes. The fear to get (mentally) raped yet again. Social(?) contacts online are like swimming movements on the dry floor.

Nothing like real swimming, but with no chance to drown. Internet (text) can't hurt me. Real interaction can.
Yes, there are trustworthy, good-natured, dependent individuals out there.
No, it is not worth taking the risk getting raped again.

I meant that your true nature is friendly, but past wounds and fear of suffering in reality makes you introvert, while online you can manifest your true self. Seeking friendships (especially female), how can it lead you to be mentally raped? If you argue (it can happen), just respond appropriately. 
Nikokaro
Anyway yours truly is always available if needed, as far as possible from here (and time permitting). 
KleinesSinchen
"just respond appropriately. "
The whip might be in range. An automatic handgun not. German laws about firearms are very strict. Besides: I've not fired a gun in all my life and don't think it is an appropriate answer to anything.
"Seeking friendships (especially female), how can it lead you to be mentally raped?"
Mentally raped is meant as metaphor…

…Something penetrates the mind against the own will. I don't want it in there, but it is forced. That is how abuse in (false) friendships (regardless of gender) works.
Without targeting a specific person: Advertising is exactly like this, and if done correctly (=effective, working) I deem advertising to be a form of serious mental abuse.
But one question: What has all this to do with my optical drives above?

Nothing to do with those. They are just responses to what you wrote at the end: your desire to hole up in a fortress, fear of psychological wounds by placing trust in others. All here.
Of the other electronic junk, it is not worth talking about.

Wait a moment… this is a forum centered around technical topics after all. Clinging to things to enjoy is the next best after having friends. These things are – for me – divided into two equally important topics: Enjoying nature around me, and enjoying collecting stuff.

"Having friends" "enjoying nature":I'm glad you value these things, after all. "Clinging to things," on the other hand, can easily result in a mental pathology (e.g. obsession, mania..).Enjoy them, but don't be overwhelmed by them: the risk is always looming.

Just between me and you, I mostly believe they honestly do. Even though they are selling themselves out, they still get to brag and gain some clout.
