The picture of the product shows a slimline CD-ROM, is this actually included when the case ships?

No, it is just a barebones case without any accessories. Also, doesn't include the power supply either, so you'll have to pick one up that matches your motherboard and drives.

Hi Alain,I have bought a number of these and the slim line CD ROM is not included.

No, the slimline optical drive must be purchased separately. (On a side note: if you do buy a slimline optical drive, be sure to verify the power requirements for it. The optical drive I purchased required a converter cable to change from the standard SATA connector on my power supply.)

As a follow-up I checked what came with mine and it does indeed contain a cd, cables, screws, etc etc. I would suggest however going to intel's web site and get the latest drivers they have released for this hardware.

Hi, I didn't get one when I ordered mine. Not to say that they haven't bundled this together since. I have had my case for about a month.

Sorry it took so long. This hard drive is ONLY for the slim model. Go figure, just another way to control our gaming. Lol.

Just received mine, It is a DVD and a Case Sticker with the Key. Not much else. Wanted to answer for those who were curious.

no it does not refer to slim cases. the case comes with 2 sided hanging sleeves that hold upto 900 cd/dvd's. i am loving it, this case is very handy for my data, photo and various other backup disks i have need of for my business.

CD driver ships with the motherboard, cables and I/O shield in a plain brown box - not a retail box

first you have to put a cd\dvd drive in it (sold separately), but I believe so.I suggest you try buying a complete one and not a case and a drive if you plan to use this on a regular basis or carry it around, this product isn't very strong

This release has a plastic case. The Card board case version you are referring to was part of a holiday Ps3 bundle.

I did order 2008, not sure if this is the same vendor, but mine came in the case as the picture shows with the Installation dvd. Kathy

I don't know which it is but, the unit I got was packaged in just a plain box, not the way you would expect a retail device. The drive worked fantastic though.

The CD drive is visible. It is really the only thing that ruins the clean aesthetics of this case.

I think I know what you are talking about. It has to be very slim to fit the narrow dimension. The case would be about 3 times the thickness of the CD or more, so it might be tight. But, the price is right and you can always send just the CD. I have had no problem with that, although I do put a "wrap" of paper towel around it.

No. Just the CPU. Product is not in retail packaging like picture. My (used) CPU has performed flawlessly and gave an old computer new life or at least an extension.

No it is not, BUT I ordered mine two days ago, so the 28th and I just received an email that it will be arriving on June 5th at the latest, so most likely this is just to keep the volume of orders down, possibly before they get a bigger shipment.

I am not a seller. I bought a used game from Amazon. It came with a plastic case.

You get a disk in a very thin case. Thin but it is a case. You can put a thin paper like cover inside the front of the case if you so choose. They worked for me.
