Hi,
having some systems without DVD drive, but with CD drive.
Is there a place from where I can download some CD isos instead of one
DVD iso for F7?

How about this:
1. Download boot.iso from Fedora 7 mirrors (e.g. from
ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/images/)
2. Burn that to a CD (makes a bootable CD).
3. Download the Fedora 7 DVD iso (best is done from torrents) and put it
on a partition in your disk which will not be overwritten during
installation.
4. Boot from the boot disk and start installation by telling the
installer to install from the ISO image that is on your hard disk.
I am going to try it out in a day or two when I get some time
(downloading the DVD iso at present).
This went very well (except that I had to have the DVD iso alone in a
directory; presence of another iso seemed to have confused the
installer). It took around 15 minutes for the install to complete -- I
did not install the Office and Productivity Suite though.
