Of Things Slim
I'm looking at the Apex MW-100 case which supposedly takes a slim 5.25" DVD drive and a slim 3.5" hard drive.
I suppose for the hard drive I can just use a bracket on a 2.5" drive but where can I get the proper DVD drive? (I'm in Vancouver)

Hi, Newegg has 48 items that are SATA notebook drives:AuraAllan wrote:Yes, its "just" a notebook drive.
Ufortunately I havent been able to find any SATA ones yet. Dont think they exist.

Also, as andyb stated, some 3.5 drives are shorter in height, so you would need to find out if your case can hold a 3.5 inch drive if you are interested in finding a slim version of those, or just putting in a 2.5 inch drive, possibly suspended or with an adaptor if the bay is 3.5"
Sorry. I thought we were talking about slim 5.25" drives. Disregard my comment.jfeldt wrote:Hi, Newegg has 48 items that are SATA notebook drives:AuraAllan wrote:Yes, its "just" a notebook drive.
