so for my new build im thinking of doing water cooling for aesthetic/silence purposes, however i notice every build i see they don't have a cd/dvd drive in their system. is this just the norm for space constraints and something i'll have to get used to if i use water cooling? also should i go with a tower reservoir or a bay reservoir, and is there a difference between the two?

It's just that nobody uses optical media anymore so If you don't have some specific use case that requires it (like watching blurays) you might as well just keep a usb one in a drawer somewhere for emergencies

I figured as much, i do actually have a portable blu-ray drive for that purpose. thanks for clearing that up for me though.
