instead of running the Plextor and Lite-On, why not just get the drive i got.

Sony DRU-810A.


check into it, you mihgt really like it, and it comes with Nero.

cuz im already $700 in debt w/o buying the power supply once i get all of my new **** (my dad said some of it came today) the old stuff is goin straight to ebay!

[turbo96z28]

WELLLLLLLL.......


after you sell some of that stuff sold, look into the Sony...it's only like $80.

If you want a DVD Burner, can't go wrong with the NEC ND-3550A:

Half the price of the Sony, and just as capable. I've had it for about a year, and every burn has been perfect

hey any u guys ever use a lightscribe drive?i have on in my new box and im having some probs with it

[Tru2Chevy]

Nope, never used one. I've heard of them in passing though....

- Justin

[project89]

they come with hp computers there the ones that u can flip the cd/dvd over and burn images and stuff onto the label,i havent tried burning any labels yet since i dont have the lightscribe cds,but its a 40xdvd-rw/cd-rw drive and for some reason i cant get it to burn faster then 4x.

[Tru2Chevy]

Try a firmware update, and make sure that you have the latest version of the software that you are using to burn. Also make sure that you are using the proper CDs.

That's all I can think of that would cause it to burn slower.

if i get a new drive its gotta be able to burn dual layer dvds

edit: now that i look at justins link it does burn dual layer, at first i was like wtf is DL? then i saw it in the description. thats pretty damn cheap for all of that. only $40??

i think this is gonna be my new PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817194003 im happy to see that its $70 less then stated in CPU magazine

Yup, it's a great burner. I've never had an issue with it, and Garrett has had his longer than I, and he's never had any issues either.

BTW, I'm a Netflix subscriber, and mine gets quite a workout

think i found the next thing on my list after i pay off the $800 ill owe. who wants to buy old pc parts?

[Tru2Chevy]

Depends on what you have.... I'm not looking for any of that Intel crap.

- Justin

[Brando56894]

things im gonna be selling (ill prolly put it on ebay so i can get a decent amount of money):

old PSU 300w
Nvidia GeForce FX 5200
Asus P4C800-e Mobo (once i get the bios reflashed)
Abit IS-7 mobo
Intel P4 3.2ghz
Intel P4 2.4ghz
Transcend 2x256mb RAM (333mhz i think?)
Lite-On Cd Burner
Plextor dvd burner

the drives will most likely be sold after i pay everything off, so i wont be w/o drives for a lil while

[Tru2Chevy]

What would you be looking to get for the PSU and GeForce 5200?

I could use both.

- Justin

[Brando56894]

the geforce=$35 sound good? i think i bought it for $50
and for the PSU i have no idea, obviously that wont be sold until i get a new one, which i might order this week idk. im thinkin in the area of $50-60 for it cuz it still works fine its just a few years old

edit: i just checked, the PSU is 300w. still want it?

just bought myself the nec drive and the enermax liberty 500w psu

[Tru2Chevy]

Brando, I'll still take the video card, but I scored a 400W PSU last night for free.

- Justin

[Brando56894]

ahh ok cool, np more money for me since some poor soul will buy it on ebay

[Brando56894]

yea i got all of my stuff put in today but still cant use it...stupid linux.... not thinking correctly i brought both of my cd drives home cuz i figured the other on would be here today but its not my new PSU is nice as hell but its kinda loud it has a huge ass 120mm fan on it, but its still awesome
