Actually I planned to do that at first but the Hue+ is a bit thick to fit under the 2nd graphics card. Also the front area is slightly shallower than the back part so a bit harder to fit the optical drive (the drive is also a little too wide and one corner of it will end up sitting on the PCIe rubber grommet). Plus the optical drive is slot load and it "spits" the disc quite far out...the door has to be open quite wide to access it anyway. :(

Ya man! Haha..it's just useful to have one available I guess. My optical drive saved me when I forgot to uninstall the old motherboard drivers before switching motherboards. Found a way to force install all the drivers from the new motherboard DVD using some DOS commands. :D

Why don't you guys use external usb drives?

Assuming you were referring to evq and myself. I think evq uses an internal drive that is just placed somewhere in the case. For me, I do use an external USB drive but I've placed it inside the case and connected it directly to the motherboard via a header-to-USB3 cable.

Why I use back my internal drive? Becos I need a Blu-ray drive to rip my Blu-ray collection. No point wasting another time 100+ to get an ext Blu-ray drive.

Furthermore I have another internal n external DVD writer drives

Sectortwo and evq, i guess it is personal preference where ever you want to place their internal drives. I feel it looks more aesthetically pleasant to have it stowed away somewhere else. The case already looks so sleek. Maybe like an external hdd. Plugged in when necessary.

Agreed.
For my case, I often access my Blu-ray drive, and it is an internal drive, so plugging in n out is too troublesome for me.
