I have a question, I just won this pc on ebay and its being shipped to me. Im wanting to order a lightscribe dvd burner for it , but cant seem to find somewhere that tells me the interface of the drive.Yes i know I could wait but im just a bit impatient lol.. Does anyone know what it is or can lead me somewhere where I can find it? Thanks in advance..

Well judging from the specs it already has a DVD burner, but if not I found this picture: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Image...eForce G100 Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit

And there are clearly no IDE cables, so it's safe to say it's a SATA drive. IDE is slowly being phased out, I don't think it even comes on newer mother boards anymore.

ahh genius! lol i never thought to find a picture like that lol... thanks alot, yea it has a burner but its labelflash and its only compatible with labelflash cds and dvds. And I have yet to come across a package of cds that are labelflash compatible..So thats why Im replacing it, only upgrade i have to do! haha again thanks

ok 1 more question, whats the diff in eSATA , SATA, and SATA II?
i know my last pc the cables were red? is the color significant for anything?

Here's a good article: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-esata.htm
I don't think color really matters, but I could be wrong. All new cables now a days seem to be red, so maybe just stick with that.
