I still don't understand why you need 2 optical drives. Please explain more clearly.
Re: Help picking computer parts
i probally dont, but what if i wanted to copy a disc or something? i would but the un burned dics in the dvd drive and the blank in the burner.
its only 20$, why not?
Re: Help picking computer parts
No use. You can still copy a disc with one drive.
I do it all the time.

Don't worry about too much. And about the 350 Watts... I depends on the maker.
Re: Help picking computer parts
Enermax 350W EG365P-VE Dual Fan $61
probally dont need dual fans, but does that look ok?
Re: Help picking computer parts
Yeah that's a good brand. If it was me I would get one with even higher wattage.
Enermax or Antec.
Re: Help picking computer parts
Get a 9800 Xt or Pro insted of that FX.
VB1234 is right only have 1 drive and get a 320gb hard drive.
