Certainly no harm in double-checking prior to purchase, though.

Optiplex question
Agree. The photo shows the "desktop" GX260 chassis, not SFF. Handled a lot of
these in the last few months, selling refurbs to upgrade an impoverished city public library. It does take any vanilla standard-sized CD/DVD-ROM/RW drive. The OP might do best with a so-called combo drive which reads DVDs, reads CDs, and burns CDs. At today's prices, a DVD/RW is not out of the question either...
