Unless you use your pc to watch DVD movies there’s not really a need for a drive bay that’s why most cases nowadays don’t have a way to install a DVD player bought a portable one in case I needed a DVD player for something I have never used it though

That’s cool, didn’t think that the newer cases even offered externally accessible 5.25 drive bays.
Probably one of the reasons why I’m staying with my older case, lol.

How is it not needing *two* sata power extensions just to use it?

Fractal pop air?
I have the same hidden space but never thought I could put a dvd drive in there 🤔
Nice idea thanks

So many cases could easily have a space for a slimline tray or slot loading drive, however this fractal pop air is good looking case either way!
Looks cool. Are there more modern versions these days?

Some may say it’s dated but I like the concept of still being able to use a disc for things like music, movies ect.

I have to hook up my old PC just to play some of my old games on disk, anyone know of a good cheap PC case with a disk drive slot for a micro ATX, I’ve been needing to get a new case anyway

I’ve been using an exterior cd player/burner for at least 100 years now. I hated how much room they ate in my case.

Those still come in handy.
That would be a great “cup holder” now..
