I still need to source an optical drive for my desktop build. Besides using them to boot from an OS disc to install a new OS, I never really use them. Can I simply mount the ISO of the OS to a USB thumb drive, and install from that? I do not see any other use for an optical drive.
I see newegg.ca has this for $17.99:
