The description isn't clear about what kind of optical drive this pc has. What exactly does it come with?

I have the small form factor (SFF) version. It comes with a very slim SATA DVD-ROM drive.

A optical drive is dvd or cd rom that you connect threw a usb or docking station. The tc4200 does not have dvd or cd drive on the unit. So you would need a optical drive.

There is no internal optical drive. If you want to play discs on this laptop you need to get an external dvd player.

Yeah, this drive is fine for a new PC. It can't write to bluray discs. But you can do pretty much whatever else you want to as far as disc reading/rewriting goes. Just to ease your mind, when building a PC the Optical drive is about as uncomplicated a piece as you can buy. They're pretty plug and play, nothing messy. I know people who have regretted everything from their mouse to their monitor, or even which memory they bought. But I've never known anyone to regret the optical drive they bought. They're usually relatively cheap compared to everything else, and you typically have multiple drive bays so you can always add another one. Yeah, this drive is fine for a new PC.

This is a full up system - it uses standard 3.5" SATA drives. Since it is a server, it is probably a good idea to use the 'Black' drives for best performance. However, the Optical Drive bay for some reason is set up for 9.5 mm SATA - typically used for Notebook computers.

No optical drive, meaning (I discovered too late) that I couldn't load my QuattroPro/WordPerfect program disks. I ended up purchasing (for $12.36 from Amazon) a Generic External Drive that promises to solve the problem.

A standard optical drive is fine. If you have a very tall CPU heatsink AND a long drive there might be problems. I'm using the stock heatsink (3770k), somewhat tall RAM, and a standard sized blu-ray burner and everything fits just fine.

This model does not come with an internal optical drive. An user would have to use an external optical drive.

there is no optical drive (DVD/CD), and there is no SATA port behind the plastic spacer! But you can add DVD capability by plugging USB external DVD drive.
