Step 5The DVD drive
Yet another issue came about when I realized that there was no way a normal DVD drive was going to fit in the case. With the micro ATX board, the RAM and power connector would try to take the same space as the end of the drive.
I toyed with the idea of just leaving the drive out, but decided it would be good in case I ever wanted to play a DVD.
After playing around, I found that an old laptop drive that I had laying around fit perfectly. It was short enough not to hit the RAM and the power connector.
All I had to do was cut the corner out of the drive bay and position the drive to line up with the front drive door. I found that styrofoam worked great for getting a solid spacer for the drive.
