I am fixing to do some upgrades on my PC. I'm starting with cosmetic's and cooling until i get my income tax and will then be purchasing a GTX 560ti as well as some other things. I just purchased the NZXT M59 case as I had been wanting it for quite some time. I was planning to place my internal DVD-RW in the top 5.25mm bay but had read that the M59 has a design flaw. If you decide to place 2 case fans in the top slots, your disk drive won't fit in the top 5.25mm bay. Not a huge issue but a little annoying. I was planning on buying a new DVDRW drive anyway as my current one is still IDE and wanted a SATA for better cable management. I was thinking about it though and realized I could probably just buy an external usb drive and use it when I need it as I normally buy digital copies of my games/software anyway. But a few game's that I have physical copies of require that the disk be in the drive in order to play. Would those game's still detect the disk being in a USB drive?
