Who uses that many DVD drives?
More Hard Drive bays just makes more sense.
My Lian Li case has 7 3.5 inch slots which is nice but it still has 5 x 5.25 inch bays so the damn case is a full 2 feet high.
What are they thinking?

They were thinking about all of the people who use many CDs at once, or use 5.25 inch Hot swappable bays.

I hear that too. My thinking is that they should all be hot swaps.
PC boards for hot swaps are cheap to make. I think it should be standard. Hard drives, CDs, DVD... they all die. Even if you don't want to hot swap, they should be front mounted so you can replace them easily. And while I'm at it, (if any case makers are watching), FILTERS! All fan ports and air inlets should be filtered.
Maybe it's just me...
