jholman76:
yank away. nothing to it.

I agree with the USB stick theory. Just get your machine set up the way you want it and you can remove all of the extra stuff, like optical drives and floppies. I am going to use network/FTP also to upload to my cab in the future

I thought so ( yank it)...but I tried to search on the web, and i saw where you might have to remove it from BIOS and mess...( which I dont want to touch)...

Good...now I can go and see if Floppy drives make good skeet targets....PULL!!!!

Ginsu Victim:
The only reason I did away with the CD-ROM drive as well is because I've decased and mounted my mobo, PSU, and hard drives on a plank of wood, so I had limited space.

VicBond007:
Buy one USB floppy drive and use it in every computer you buy from now on.  One less fat cable to run.

1UP:
You can always get a USB floppy drive for emergencies for $15, but I have one and haven't used it in 3 years.  Thumb drives are better.
