OK, this is one thing I always wanted to know. But first of all, is it even worth it? For me, I'd like it so I can have one CD-ROM for gaming, One for burning cd/dvd, And one 48x DVD-ROM for those DVD format games. Catch me drift?
 
Unless your going to be gaming, burning and watching a DVD at the same time just get a single drive that does all three. And btw you can have 3 optical drives, you can probably have 100 if you have the right kind of pc :)
 
Agreed... Two would be fine(say one DVD-ROM, one DVD-Burner) They are also backwards compatable with plain CDs and what not. Less power, less clutter, less heat.

But to answer your question, yes. You can easilly have 3 optical drives if you wanted. I don't know what the computer's max is. As long as you have free IDE/SATA ports, you can add drives. There are even expansion cards to add more IDE or SATA slots for even more fun :P Or...there are external drives as well.
 
yes you can, but 3 is kinda useless.
like previously said, get 2, the 'major' one should be a DVD-RW DL 16x burner, and the second one could be simply a DVd player.
but if you plan on doing DVD burning, get 2 optical drives that burn. it would be faster.
3 is useless.
