I recently built a new computer and most if not all computer cases have no 5.25-inch bays for drives so no internal DVD/BluRay drives. :( So the question is... How do I add one to this system of mine? Would it be better to try and find an enclosure that would allow me to adapt an existing drive or get a new drive that's already got a drive as part of the device? Any suggestions are welcome.
 
It really comes down to if you already have a Blu-Ray drive or not.

If you do, then get an enclosure. If not, just buy an external Blu-Ray drive.

I looked at that enclosure and it's gotten multiple bad reviews.
