so this is the story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down
i got a microatx case, and it doesnt support dvd drives. there are no holes on the front for any.
im wondering if it is possible to insert a dvd drive in BACKWARDS so the cd port thing is facing towards the internals of the case. this would mean, to install drivers and stuff into the pc via cd, id just open up the pc and the drive would be there. yknow?
basically if this is the case heres a little illustration these arrows > are what the cd goes into

normal setup-----------------------------what i need
