You can (is it cheaper? afaik the DiamondMax10 had a longer warranty)

My bad. I meant Maxtor MaxLine III (7L250S0)

A superb burner but there is a newer model just so you're aware

Also, is it going to create problems (complcations?, remember, first build, not too sure what I'm doing) if I use a SATA DVD-Burn. and a IDE CD-Burn. I'm wanting to stay with SATA on both optical drives for optimal air flow / cooling, but am having some trouble finding a SATA CD-Burner. Am I just not looking in the right places?

Well optimal airflow doesnt matter as long as u dont get them cursed round IDE cables (flat IDE cables fold better anyways) ... dont bother with SATA if you dont think you'll benifit much from it (which you probably wont)
