OK, I could be wrong, but I think that an optical drive is simply a CD-ROM, DVD, etc. While you don't technically need an optical drive to run your system, I imagine it would make things really inconvenient if you didn't at least have a CD-ROM, but you said you could come up with a free one so I wouldn't worry about the optical drive.

you couldnt build one without optical drive cuase how would you install windows, and many other drivers that are required to operate your Pc.Its impossible unless he wants to run the first version of windows on floppy.
