It will work just find with out the drive in. You can also get a optical bay hard drive adapter and install a second drive with it: [linked product missing or disabled: IF107-078]

While you at it pick up an external Firewire DVD drive you can move from computer to computer. I suggest Firewire so you can boot with it. +
