Hey Guys,

 

      So i'm building a computer and the case that I'm getting doesn't have any compatibility for an optical drive. So I thought nothing of it but now i'm thinking, "How am I gonna install windows?" So I was thinking that I could use an external optical drive that connects with two usbs. Will this work? Thanks for the help!

"Case that does not have support for an optical drive"

What?

PCI-Based SSDs maybe?

He's talking about an ODD (Optical Disk Drive), not an HDD/SSD. You corrected yourself, never mind.
