    Does anyone know if one of the barebone units that you can purchase off of, say NCIX.com, would come with any sort of optical drive. If not what kind of drive would work in the bay?

    Xoticpc.com offers the barebones here, and when you click customize there is no optical drive included. I guess that just tells you the one they are selling comes without one, although I would wager they are all that way.

    You can add a dvd-rw to the system for $82
