Hey guys I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good reliable optical drive for playing physical pc games and for burning disks , and also if I would have room to insert it into a deepcool tesseract sw mid atx case?

I bought one from Asus and it has plastic parts inside so avoid that

Mostly DVD since I can't recall too many pc games on blu ray and the burned disks will mostly be for creating music/movie disks

yeah just checking, honestly the cheap LG or Samsung ones on amazon work just fine, pretty sure i paid like £15 for an LG one and have had zero problems ripping DVDs with it 

 

edit; this should do nice https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-SH-224FB-BEBE-Internal-Writer/dp/B00WHU2J4Q/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1485514591&sr=8-4&keywords=dvd+drive+pc

literally anything from Samsung/pioneer/asus/lg/liteon/mitsubishi in a 5.25"

Any Oprical drive you'll find online (as long as it's from a reputable brand) will work just fine.

Make sure it has the right size.

Yea that's fine dude, I like lg optical drives for some reason...don't know why since most of the internal parts all come from the same dam place.

If you have a 5.25 bay it'll fit physically. Just make sure there's no fans or a rad mounted in the way if your using a modernish system.
