Then you can put an optical drive on USB, so you have some way to load and burn optical discs. Or if you have a spare PCI slot, you can get an adapter card and run a drive from there.
My sister set up a wireless network with a BELKIN wireless router for adsl and a BELKIN wireless card.
After many calls to her ISP provider, BT and BELKIN, BELKIN support told her she should have her PC only about 20 feet from the router and if possible right beside it!!!
For the love of god, this company states it can do ranges of up to 200 feet on their packaging!
What a waste of time and money, I plan to set up a wireless network myself but wont be using BELKIN.
Belkin wireless routers, even the original "b" can reach much further then what you just stated. Feel confident to set it up and us it. Now if you really want some kick, get a Belkin Pre-N router and just about walk the neighborhood when you are surfing the net!
