Optical Drives ???

[Azzy..]

In this age of digital distribution for games, Movie downloads through itunes (plus other less lawful means) And ablity to boot from a memory stick, do you really think that part of a build should include A drive.

My question mostly stems from wanting to build a MATX system but wanting to remove the internal hdd cage in and replace it for one of those nifty cages that takes the place of 2 Drive bays.. But this would leave me with no room for a DVD drive, So basically what im asking is...

Do you think i would miss having a DVD drive??

I mean if im honest everything i have is digital. And im planning on getting one of those tasty looking PS3 Slims soon, so thats my DVD playing sorted out.

Can you guys thing of a time where i would need a DVD drive..

I buy most of my games through steam.

And mostly spend my time playing coutnerstrike source. And as more and more and more games become avaliable through the steam platform, i dont see it as being much of a problem, i have a laptop at the moment, and i rarely ever use the DVD drive unless im watching one of my DVD's.
