Feasible for new gaming build NO optical drive?

If you have a non-midget case then you tend to have a huge surplus of space and bays.
£15 for an all singing and dancing DVD job or £50 for a blu ray one
I find having yet another gadget dangling about in the form of an external drive more annoying than having an internal drive.

Yeah i havent had an optical drive for a good 10 years or so either, always had a laptop with one up to now though so i just shared that if i needed to load a disk. Even before USB drives were big enough to be useful i just kept a windows install on a spare drive as it was much faster installing from that anyway.

Yes absolutely - only my laptops have them and there is no choice there!

I just bought a new build in February and put one in - it was only £18 and whilst admittedly I've only used it once or twice, occasionally you can get a game that's been out for a while cheaper on disc from Amazon than you can from Steam or the other download sites so it's nice to have the option. I still burn the occasional hardcore/rave CD for the car or for friends. Unless you think it looks bad on your case you might as well have the option...
