I found another SATA DVD ROM that i had in my other computer (I have 3). . It i popped in there, it came up, then i shut down the computer. . And turned it on again. . It showed up, and works perfectly (lets see for how long though). . So, i'm wondering if there's somethin wrong with the LG DVD ROM?NZXT Phantom PHAN-001WT White Steel / Plastic Enthusiast ATX Full Tower Computer Case

They're heading down to about a buck+ per GB, some 60GB ones have rebates out, bring prices down to the +/- $75 range. Way down from over $180 plus I paid for my early 60GB ones. I've got some 120 GB Snipers in three of my systems, a pair in RAID 0 in my main P67 rig, and those were running about $240 less than a year ago, now they are $170 and very fast. Base boot from power on to ready to go about 15 seconds without the RAID and dual boot, about 24 seconds with them. When I go to start say MS Word, I'll double click - and it's open ready to go, maybe a half to 1 second lag on the first open of a session. After that, it's ready before I move from the mouse to the keyboardLast edited by Tradesman; 03-15-2012, 06:12 PM.
