Yes, DVD-RW are the standards these days...

Why not getting a E6750. Not much different in price.
MB, I will rather go for a 680i chipset.

oscaryu1 · 09-19-2007, 12:31 PM

And build it youself. It takes less than 20 mins for me.

Ya build yourself though it took me more than hour to build up mine.
