Well I'm thinking about making a new computer..
Because..
1. I don't like my laptop.
2. I want the experience and a sweet new computer.
Well I'm pretty sure all these parts will work with each other, but i was hoping Atomic could tell me that.

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Burns consistantly at 18x without errors, even on 16x dvds. The lightscribe support is awesome especially at this price. Works fine in linux with generic cdrom drivers.
Cons: None, it does exactly what it's supposed to.
Other Thoughts: I've had this about 4 months now and have gone through a 10pack of lightscribe discs and a 50pack of dvd's without a single issue. Lightscribe bogged down my system in Windows x64, but I've since switched to WinXP Pro and it's much less resource intensive for some reason. I don't even notice it burning in the background anymore. It was probably just my settings anyway.
