Building a gaming pc with my son for Xmas. He is currently using a M11x R1 laptop that does not have an optical drive. As a result, we have an external optical drive, and rarely use it.
This has me wondering if an optical drive is really needed. Anyone out there not use them in their builds, and if so, has it really handicapped you at all?
I am using a CM N200 case and the installation of an optical drive sort of takes away some of the aesthtics of the case, not that there was a great deal to begin with. Just starting to wonder if it is worth it since it appears I am only going to use it to install the OS. As it is, neither his computer or mine(Mac Mini) have one and it never seemed to be an issue.
