    I ordered a barebone Asus Z71V and installed everything... running fine so far, but I can't install Windows because my CD-ROM apparently doesn't fit. It's a standard slimline drive... am I missing a caddy or something?

    I need the special rails/bezel, generally only available when you buy the Asus optical drives.

    Directron.com, where I ordered the barebone from, sells them.
