Solid list. You may want to bump up that power supply to something in the 450-500w range just for a bit of headroom. 430 is cutting it close.

Your LiteOn burner doesn't come with software. You need some, go with a Retail instead of OEM drive.

thanks for the suggestions. i just bought the power supply the other day (thought that may have been the problem w/ my other comp but it wasn't) , so hopefully 430 will be fine.

hmm, i should still have software from my other lite-on dvd drive too soi think i should be ok with OEM. good point though i'll double check.!

thx

The software might only work with the model Lite-On it shipped with. This is common with OEM software, especially when the retail price of the same software is more than the price of the drive.
