Yeah...crap. Complicating it somewhat too is that I already just got an external Blu Ray reader in a combo deal with a Raptor 150 on eBay and threw it in an esata case. Using with my P55 box that is now a server (all 4 bays full with a res/pump and a hot swap drive cage). I could always just swap those drives and use the burner external for both but the reader isn't worth crap (was glad to have found a use cause I just needed another Raptor really) and moving it back and forth is meh. Though I don't need an optical drive all that much on my main rig. Maybe could just share discs over the network too. I got the white w/ black front Prodigy and it would look nice in there as well though.
Fortunately my Asrock m-itx does have an esata port too.

Thought about this today and it's a possibility. Would be really close to my present res though but perhaps doable with the right fittings. Angled and/or rotary. Same deal for rear being so close to block.
