$68 for a CDROM????? IDE (ATAPI) or SCSI? In Greece we pay 30 Euro for DVDROMs and less than 20 Euro for IDE (ATAPI) CDROMs. Second-hand CDROMs cost no more than 10 Euro (I recently sold a dozen of them at that price)
Slim line? You don't have much place in a rack mountable "pizzabox" computer. Putting in a full sized CDROM wouldn't fit or would cause problems with cooling.
