Want power go Antec

This computer is going to be unique
so I had to top my last power supply
wich was an Enermax 420 watter.

Super computer 2 is going to be my
server computer housing a dual
core processor. Bascialy its going
serve as my movie watcher/music
player /FTP server/gaming com-
puter often all at the same time, so
I had to find the elite of all power
supplys. I looked no further than
staples.
For 89 bucs I couldn't wrong. Here
are some reviews from customers
who purchased the Antec sp-500

Chapter 2 Super Computer 2 Upgrade: A better CDR/DVD-ROM drive?

This drive seemed to have a
quicker response when loading
a game cd compared to Super
computer 1 drive when I tested
it. I seen LITEON drives here
and there but never really gave it a
thought since a cdrom is just a cdrom.

The manufacture date was in april
2005 so it hadn't been sitting on
the shelf for to long compared to
some.

UPDATE! I forgot to mention. I
purchased this drive at Wal-Mart.
Hell if Wal-Mart sold every piece
I needed to build a computer I wo-
uld just go there. With the current
gas price gouge I have to cut back
on even a 15 minute drive to fry's
electronics.
