What's the point? If you're gonna alter the OG equipment to such an extreme extent like removing the CD drive, then you're not going to play original copies on it anyways. Might as well just run an emulator.

there's the charm of playing in original hardware without having to deal with the original storage medium.

There are better alternatives to CDs, might as well use them. It is no different than using a flashcart.
