My PC has no in-built optical drive...
That's why I bought a USB DVD drive!
I actually wanted to add a DVD drive to my new PC when I built it last year, but modern cases no longer have a place for optical drives.

There's a few that still has a drive bay, but they are definitely few and far between. The Fractal Pop Air has one and i specifically built my last pc so i could have a drive bay.
I wanted a simple black case without any windows or lights, which narrowed my selection quite a bit because most stuff these days has retarded RGB elements all over it.
Ended up getting this because it has a lot of space for my hardware, good airflow, and looks elegant:
I just keep my PC under the desk with another (currently unused) one next to it to cover the damned case window even if the light show bullshit is turned off as much as possible. Didn't want to compromise on size or drive bays to find one without a window.
Still have additional optical drives though that I don't use often enough to keep in the case and just connect with a USB→IDE/SATA adapter when needed.

My PC case is on the desk, so any window or lighting would be detrimental when I play games at night - especially something like Thief which relies on having a moody dark atmosphere.
It would also annoy the fuck out of me when I work.
I also made sure to pick interior parts that didn't have RGB shit. When I picked RAM sticks there was a choice of ones with RGB elements on them. WTF is the point of that? It's fucking RAM sticks, man! The RGB elements just make them bulkier.

Don't forget how reflective the panels are and prone to shattering.

I also like to play Thief during the night.
Honestly the best way to play it.

I built a new PC this year and the case came with an optical drive space.
It's an Aerocool SI-5100 Black
Yeah but it has a window. I wanted a normal case without any stupid windows. The ones made of tempered glass are potential hazards, and I don't like the look of it at all.I built a new PC this year and the case came with an optical drive space.

Yeah I just noticed the pic I posted has a glass pane. I guess there are two variants. Here's how mine looks.Yeah but it has a window. I wanted a normal case without any stupid windows.

Mine had a window (not a full side one though), and I removed the clear part and put a mesh screen with a dust filter in place so that my GPU would have a better air intake.
