     The above picture shows the Gigabyte GO-5232A drive on top of a normal (full-size) DVD-ROM; dedicated reader. Since the drive still have to fit in a standard 5.25 inch drive bay, the space saved is at the rear of the drive. Small form factor enclosures will reap the most benefit from this arrangement making it much easier to install and route the ATA drive cable. Also, since most SFF enclosures only have space for one drive bay, filling it with a combo-drive gives the machine a best of both worlds capability. Since SFF rigs are powerful enough to be used as on the go LAN Party / gaming machines,  they are more than capable of performing duties as a household multi-media PC.
