    HELP! Is my power supply killing motherboards, or is it me??

    make sure the CPU is inserted fully, and also check the back of your PS to make sure that it's set at 115V instead of 220. good luck

    Which DVD-ROM drive?

    hmm.. I was debating between a 16X and a 10X Pioneer... the thing that's giving me trouble is the amount of noise.. what do you 10X owners out there think of the noise the 10X makes?

    Anyone want to make a guess at what a performance difference would 2 ATA100 between a 2 ATA66 RAIDed drives would make?

    Pioneer DVD-ROM Drives: 16X vs. 10X (noise wise)

    Just got a 16X version, and it is incredibly loud on spin up and data transfer. Anyone know if it is this loud with DVD movies(I have yet to watch any with it). I'm thinking about returning it for a 10X version if it is much quieter... anyone have experiences with either or both drives? Thanks!
