Do you still have a cd/dvd/bluray burner in your PC? (zerobytes.monster)

I'm looking to build a new desktop PC and I'm not sure if I'm going to install an optical drive in it. It seems kind of pointless because even though I have tons of CD's and DVD's that I burned over the years way back, I can't remember needing to read one in probably 5 years. The important stuff that's on them has long been ripped to mkv's/iso/etc and backed up to my janky 42TB "NAS" (that I definitely need to upgrade but that's a project for later).

Still, it would be nice to have access to them as they are still a last resort backup of some my data.
