I ws d first one to get hands on Lite-on LH-20A1P in our clan....its d coolest drive I hav ever benchmarked. Its true.........but lately v brought 3 this kinda drives.....dOm1naTOr tested and said the following problems:
  • high vibration and noisy
  • high spin-up or disc detect time
  • faulty burning
  • low tray quality
these problems were found with all the 3 drives v lately brought.....:(

So I prefer Lite-on LH-20AIH (light-scribe model) or the Asus SATA drives.:)

all are same :lol: any sub 1.5k DVD burner is same :lol: have them all, and Liteon DVD RW may be noisy but, personally saw it has the lowest faliurs, and also

there is a major issue which comes with with all, LG writen DVDs some time is not readable at ASUS drives :(, ASUS writen DVDs some time is not readable at Sony drives :p

where as i see this Liteon Model (@ 1275/-) writes compatible too all :) however none of the buyer from this thread came back to complain about Liteon...

but ok, point taken, option should be given, LG @ Rs. 1325/- can also be there, buy which ever you feel the best :D

for your need you do not need QUad Core, even a Dual Core E2140 is more than enough.... what you need is bigger display even if possible then 22" WideScreen...

The motherboard ABiT IP35-Pro comes with onboard 8 Channel (7.1) HD audio :)

Rs. 2000/- for logitech Combo for Wireless, but high running cost with their battery needs :(

Liteon drives are not good performer in my opinion..i own 2 Liteon DVD writers one of which started giving problem before the end of year...

It has problem reading CDs and DVD writing frequently fails..

ASUS is the best one...next comes samsung/LG..dont go for Liteon & sony they are one and the same..lot of duplicates in the market..

its only digit & digitians given too much hype about sony & liteon..but both sucks..

not my case i found another digitian some isssue with Liteon

This thing differs from person to person.
IMO Sony and LiteOn and Asus make the best drives. I hav never ha a problem with any drive.

Suggest a motherboard.

i was thinking of Intel x38 based ones, but some reviews state that currently there's little difference in performance between x38 & p35.
[budeget = $200]

i'll be overclocking the processor, Intel c2d e4500.
i'll try to get Nvidia 9600gt (if it launches by feb mid week) or get 8800gs

what SMPS should i buy, currently i have Zebronics 400W PSU, noisy.

how about Cooler Master Real Power Pro 650W
(RS-650-ACAA-A1)

AGP is d old standard interface for add-on devices......now its PCIe. So go for PCIe grfx cards than AGP gards........but u will need motherboard which has PCIe slot. If u hav old AGP based mobo, then there r AGP equivalents of every PCIe grfx cards that is in the market. But since AGP is d old standard their cost is high, due to manufacturing and demand issuses.

@vrslvrs
its not a question of which is better, but which is compatible with ur mobo. Mobos has either PCIE slot or AGP slot, nd theorytically PCIE slot has double the data bandwidth than AGP interface
And newer cards are only available in PCIE, and AGP cards are getting outdated now.
And even PCIE 2.0 has been into market, nd u shud dun even think of getting an AGP card. And nowadays AGP cads has very little value for money nd systems with AGP interface will have many bottlenecks like memory, proccy, fsb etc.

So all this means PCIE is the way to go, or better PCIE 2.0.
