That power supply is a little weak for my taste. Try looking for one with more than 20 amps on the 12 volt rail. Also I havnt heard of that ram, get Crucial(sp?).

1. Because it's an HP
2. Reviews on Newegg are generally retarded.

1. HP doesnt make optical drives. They rebrand other makes
2. What about an HP drive makes it special? Absolutely nothing. Take a Plexy for instance or a Litey ... what makes those drives special? Insane rip times and rip accuracy ... throw in a long life as a general comment about their drives (i.e., my Litey CDRW is going to be passing the 4000 disc mark soon -- after only a few months and its going strong). Says something about the production quality
