Yeah you're right. I just realized that, I don't know what I was
thinking. Maybe the better thing to do would be not buy a disc drive
for that box but just buy a DVD player STB. They're damn cheap these
days, even for progressive scan models. The problem of course is that
it's one more box on your shelf.<br>

Maybe a USB VFD / IR receiver? Don't know if they make those.

There'd better be a DVD drive as there is only one internal 3.5" bay
<br>
according to newegg, which you'd probably want to save for a hard
drive!

DVD drives use 5.25" slots, not 3.5". And looking at the pictures and
the specs, it definitely does NOT include a drive. The only slot load
drive I see on newegg is $150. Add that to the CPU, RAM and hard drive
and you're probably looking at almost $700 all up. Pretty spendy, but
it does look nice.
