    Making Backups of My DVD's > How To?

    Im going on a long trip soon, and want to bring some of my movies, but I do not want to bring the originals for the same reason I use my iPod in my car instead of bringing the real thing: I dont want them stolen or damaged while I'm out. Neither my Nero software nor Alcohol 120% will copy...

    Confused about brands...!!

    The NEC 3500A (or 3520A I think the new one is) CD/DVD burner is very quiet and works great. Just make sure to get TDK or TY brand disks if you want to burn at the full 48X. Its around $60 on www.newegg.com. Then just get yourself a regular dvd/cd reader so you can make duplicates straight...

    Yes. All Antec PSU's 300watts and above have SATA connectors now. If you get a different brand, and for some reason it doesnt have them, they are $3 on most online stores.

    Stop referring to yourself in the 3rd person. Especially since your name directs one to an appendige. As far as my recommendations: Seagate for HDD's NEC/Pioneer for Burners. Just a regular CD/DVD reader, anything will do for the most part. Asus, pioneer, nec, samsung ect.

    Thermaltake Tsunami cases... any good?

    I like mine alot. I don't have the see through panel though, because I think they all look like ass :D I like mine streamlined and solid. The only thing I'd change if I could, would be to make another version that is bigger. But thats because I put alot of s**t in my cases.

    SATA drive help

    You shouldn't need to install the drivers, but its worth a try. Hit f6 and insert your SATA driver floppy disk.

    Old hardware

    Put it all on display in a museum :D Just kidding....... Not much really. You can allways use a slower comp for "testing" out other OS's like linux ect if you wish. That would be the best thing. Loading all that crap like zone alarm ect is just going to bog down the system to unusable...
