Optical to finish build
I'm trying to finish getting all my parts in for a latest build. LG and Lite-On SATA Lightscribe drives seem to be non-existent from many sellers right now. Does anyone care to comment on this HP drive:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827140034 If consensus is to stick with LG or Lite-On if at all possible, I do have the option of getting the system up and going with an old IDE CD-R drive. Charlie |

Here's a Lite-On SATA DVD burner: http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...dlist=celebros
ZZF is good. Not quite as incredible as newegg when it comes to shipping, but who is?

I don't see Lightscribe in that burner.
That HP should be okay if you must have Lightscribe. I dunno what's going on, but it looks like Lightscribe is disappearing or something. |

Oops, sorry about that. Got Lite-On and LiteScribe tangled in my brain.

makes me wonder if I should give a crap about having a lightscribe drive. If LS could be going the way of the 8088, then so would blank LS media.
In that case, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106289 look Okay? Also, does an OEM drive come w/no SATA cable? would the Antec case I haven't ordered yet or the Asus P5Q pro I haven't opened yet come with SATA cables? I know the WD black I got had no cable, so just checking to see if the case might. I did SATA on my first build and don't remember buying cables separate but don't remember where they came from either. Charlie |

The P5Q Pro comes with 4 SATA cables. An OEM drive comes in a bag with some crappy software, nothing else.

I got Light-Scribe for my build 4 years ago, and have used it twice (it came with 2 blank lightscribe discs :-). If you need professional-looking CDs, lightscribe won't cut it, and for everything else, a sharpie is fine for labeling. The added cost of the media isn't worth it for most users.

To me, Lightscribe is a waste of money. The results that I have seen have been far from impressive.

However, lightscribe in color is coming soon.

But is the resolution going to be any good? The monochrome lightscribe reminds me of the screen on my calculator.
