Where does a CD/DVD drive in an external USB2.0 enclosure go?

[Sujai]

I've been thinking of getting an external USB 2.0 enclosure for my
laptop. This seems very good: http://dealsonic.com/bytidetousb2.html,
but from the pictures, I cannot tell how a CD-RW or DVD drive will be
usable (the front doesnt seem to open so how would the tray open/shut?)

If anyone has used one of these enclosures with a CD/DVD drive, please
let me know how it works.

Thanks,

Sujai

The front faceplate obviously comes off. You don't think they'd
advertise CD-ROM compatibility without taking that into consideration,
do you??
