And dual burners causing conflicts? nuh uh.

Max i've had in one system is 3 and no problem.

Cool what brand and model are u running! I wouldnt mind having multiple burners if i can find ones that dont have issues.

thanx henzo i actualy switched to that set getting 2 as a matter of fact. The ones i first mentioned were triple channel to go with the old motherboard.

I don't think any have issues, you just have bad luck.


I have the SH-202 x2 and an old older LG DVD-RW.

 

[thump186]

Thanx james I'll give it a shot.

 

[aerick]

why would you need dual burner?

 

[JamesXP]

Why go for a rom, when a burner is only 5-10$ more.

Thanks for the advice guys. Plans are to over clock in the near future but not right out of the gate. I'm a tech guru at heart. I did alter plans a bit last night as i think i'm going to get a 1tb drive for storage and an 160gb for my OS which is 32 bit vista sp1.

and just switched psu


CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply 99.99

I would go for the 620W Corsair PSU becasuse the wiring is modular and you will have a much cleaner case - good airflow.

Re DVD burners, You don't need two SD burners. Leave the second slot empty until Blu-Ray burners become reasonably priced.

Case: go with Antek 900. Lots of fans keep everything cool.
