    You can still get a usb external drive very cheaply. I would actually still have an optical drive in my PC if there were any decent cases still being made that has space for them.

      You can even buy a USB adapter to connect an 8 inch floppy drive to a modern PC and read 50 year old disks if you want to.

      I have a Fractal POP XL Air with 2 bluray burners in it. Heaps of space and it’s very modern looking and well built.

        I’ve seen that case, where do the optical drives go? I didn’t see a visible slot for them.

          There’s 2 ODD bays at the bottom. They’re hidden by a plastic cover that pops on and off with magnets. It comes with a parts tray/drawer if you don’t want drives in there.
