pioneer 106 dvd/cd writer combi - it's not fussy about the media it can use as some drives. The OEM one (no box) is just the same but comes with no s/w (or box heh) - it has burnproof.

got the pioneer 106 here meself- burnt tons of stuff on different discs, data, videos' - all perfect. Prolly quite old now in terms of home dvd burning hardware but quality still. - actually thinking , mine came unboxed/no discs, didnt realise there was anything more to it than the shop saving a few squid from their suppliers. Learn something new........

I've got a rebranded NEC here, and it's not fussy about anything.

the rest of the specs look pretty damn impressive.

pay attention to proper installation of everything, keep it clean and it should provide you with a healthy amount of functionality

What's your monitor situation? Don't be hookin' that badboy up to a 15" bubble. I highly recommend dual 17" flat CRT's.... they're really cheap and you can probably get package deals with a dual head card. k just got a deal like that, maybe he can hook you up. does the 9600 do dual head? ATI cards are nice...

I know... I specified flat CRT's because they're cheaper and I like them better than TFT. Trinitrons are still so easy on the eyes after all these years.

"Don't be hookin' that badboy up to a 15" bubble.."

lol

Its surprising the number of ppl that skimp out on the display after spending lovely wonga on a kick ass system! If the physical desk space is available then I'd second the 2x17" Flat CRTs or even 19" if you can stretch to it....

The day when decent LCDs are cheap enough.. *sigh*

Other than that.. nice system spec. Here's hoping it all fits together sweet..
