Arrgh thats annoying. Why on Earth doesnt it have a slot? My Mac's dont but they are all tiny, this is massive, it should have room.

There quite a few cases now that don't support DVD drives.
I guess as OS and Apps are now downloaded and/or thumb drives are big enough now to hold the software they are getting a little redundant.

Clean look? Less demand for optical drives? Lower noise? Better airflow?

Their towers have slots...

"I do apologise, the case for A490S Skylake system has now changed to the the Cooltek UMX3 which is slightly different and does not have a slot"
So, what I'll likely do is continue to use my old machine for burning CDs and if I need it, I'll buy an external CD/DVD/bluray burner for the new machine. Still annoying as I was ready to throw money away yesterday and then road bump.
