Post A Pic Of Your Pc Here :)

It might be different. If you have LG burner. It didn't mean it is same model as mine. I have ASUS and it work successful. The ASUS drive you had talk about, it might not be same model as mine. My two of LG burner have problem to reading DVD movie. It is old LG DVD burner model, not like newest model this years.

Like my brother have newest LG DVD burner and it still work. My dad have newest LG Blu Ray Burner model and no problem yet.

Looks good, You can always get around Cable management though. As vista said; zipties to the bays. but there is always the part of hiding some of the thinner cables behind the mobo and at the top of the case there is normally a small space between the PSU and Chassis so you can get a few cables up there :)

Thanks:good:
 
I've got an HP 1260. It's served me well for years.

I've got an HP too, was the cheapest thing at microcenter and had lightscribe, works fine, so i don't care.

Will say the DVD drive off my compaq broke a long time ago, weird noise and doesn't open 99% of the time and doesn't read anything but like music cd's or something, idk.
 
I still think no matter the brand, the price being about the same, makes em all a crapshoot, I personally like sony/nec/optiarcs, but thats me, if there was another brand that was slightly cheaper at the time id go with them, simply because its a dvd drive...it does not matter much else. Anyway we are getting off the rails...how about some more computers? :P
 
Agreed completely. Every Asus drive I have owned has died on me. Every LG, Sony, LiteOn and Samsung, not a problem
I already ordered a lite on from new egg for $17. And a case. Ill save up $100 then sell my old card to buy the new.

I've actually never used a samsung, but everything samsung makes seems to be top quality. They are pretty much the highest rated electronics company, especially for TV's, and LG is actually up there too. I've used 2 liteOn's with no problems, I did have an issue with a Sony but it was used when I bought it so who knows how the previous owner treated it so I don't really count that.

And actually 90% of the reason I don't buy Asus is their support is horrendous. If you have to RMA something, be prepared for it to take forever and jump through tons of hoops. Also, they are super picky and reject RMA's all the time and say you misused the item when it's normal wear and tear 95% of the time. I've never had any RMA or support issues with Patriot, gigabyte, ASrock, G.Skill, MSI (the best and fastest imo), or EVGA although they are a little on the slow side.

I just had someone tell me the other day he tried to RMA his Asus motherboard. They rejected it because there was a cut trace on the back of the board....which is fine and a good reason. But I said to my friend, well I've RMA'd boards with ASRock, MSI, and gigabyte where the boards have had physical damage and there's usually a small fee for replacement anywhere from $30-40. He told me Asus wanted $133 for replacement, which was only a discounted price basically it was a $190 board. But the gigabyte board I RMA'd was an X58 and was going for $180 at the time and they replaced it for $40.

Got my new motherboard and reinstalled everything. Also cleaned up my cable management in the back. And now that I discovered I can mount my hard drives in my unused 5.25 bays, and remove the 3.5 bay, I will do that soon.

This is my main bug bear with them too. I have never been screwed around by OCZ, Corsair (by far THE best RMA service in the PC world), Antec but Asus, they can't seem to get anything right.

The quality is below stadard too. I have 1 ASRock board, 1 Gigabyte board and 1 Asus board still in use in various systems. The ASRock is now 4 years old, this Gigabyte is new and it replaced the Asus which is still in service. Before that I had four Asus boards crap out on me within the 3 year warranty period, when a Gigabyte and Foxconn board, both ~8 years old at this point, were still going strong.
 
I've never had a problem with ASUS myself. I've used lots of their boards in the past and not had an issue with any of them, and apparently ASUS make great monitors.
