Cases with a slot for an internal DVD drive.

[DavidBrazier642]

Can anyone point me at any of the available cases that will take a DVD drive? I know it's old fashioned, but so am I!.

Thanks for any help.

These forums are for support on PCSpecialist systems only, is that what you’re after?

Thanks,
in case (!) I was not clear I was referring to the cases available from PCSpecialist. I am attempting to custom build a desktop to my specs ahead of placing an order.

If I'm not mistaken, only the Fractal Define 7 and the Pop Silent feature a 5.25'' bay that can handle a CD/DVD drive (I don't even consider PCS-branded ones, which are virtually unknown).

While Fractal are well-made cases, I would not recommend them because the airflow isn't optimal, but it depends on the purpose of the build.

Why don't you consider using an external DVD drive instead?

Or get one of the Pop Air cases from Fractal (really pretty as well as practical) and do "send in your own case".

Realistically an internal DVD drive is now a niche requirement, so you really will be limited on cases and may have to go out of your way to get one.

I don't normally go near PCPartPicker but it is useful on occasions such as this as the filter does good work. On cases with 5.25" bays, it returns with 417:

Granted, some of the cases on there are quite old now (the Define R4 is 12 years old) but still is a useful list.
