mac mini w/out dvdrom

Does anyone know if the mac mini will boot without it's on board DVD drive? I want to remove it and use it via USB since I'm going to mount my mac in a inaccessible location.

Thanks!

Yes, it will.
At least my PPC version did when I was messing around with it.

Why not just buy an external drive and keep the built in one installed?
