Yes, everything will be compatible, i would try to get a DVD Burner for future use.

lil9 · 10-19-2005, 11:38 AM

Could i just buy a DVD burner in the future and install it then?

Because right now i cant think of a reason why i would need a DVD burner, a CD Burner should be fine at the mo.

I can't open the link to the case that you specified above, but as long as it has enough 5.25in drive bays you will be able to put in a DVD burner later.

lil9 · 10-19-2005, 04:16 PM

hmm thats odd none of the links are working, they was working when i tested them earlyer.

anyways

"- 10 drive bays: 4 external 5.25", 2 external 3.5", 4 internal 3.5""

Im guessing if i wanted to add a DVD writer later that i would need at least 2 external 5.25?

should be fine, correct?

towly · 10-19-2005, 04:33 PM

you would just need 1 external 5.25 bay

**Archangel** · 10-19-2005, 06:07 PM

4 external bays is really enough

lil9 · 10-19-2005, 06:07 PM

would i need 1 for the cd writer and then 1 for the dvd writer?

towly · 10-19-2005, 06:41 PM

yeah

tbh, you can get a 16 speed dvd burner for the same price, or about £5 more. On Overclockers.co.uk, the NEC 4450 is only £31. Heres the link for the dvd writer page, just scroll down for the NEC 4450
