OMG.........

That annoying moment when you are about to finish your big upgrade and realise at 10pm that your new mobo has no ide and all your opitcals you kept are ide and that your case fans need an adapter, if you wish them all to run, that you stripped many years ago.........and so another 24hrs must pass....
note to self.....don't leave upgrades to every 5 years

[Bam Stroker]

OR plan to finish your upgrade before COB.

OLD

G41 chip set mobo
Geforce GTX285

New AMD Phenom 2 X6 1100T (Temp till bulldoser X8/X16)
GA-990FXA-UD7 AM3+
8GB DDR3 1600
2x Radeon 6970 2GB

[rec]

Any reason why you're going with a Phenom? They're fucking shithouse. I wouldn't even go with one temporarily.

[Xolares]

it costs more for Quad Xfire/SLI Mobo for intel than AMD
I could go
Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD5-B3 Motherboard [GA-Z68X-UD5-B3] - $315.00 : PC Case Gear

Intel Core i7 2600K [BX80623I72600K] - $325.00 : PC Case Gear

[grandinferno]

You're wasting your time with those GPUs and a shitty AMD CPU.

Back to the topic starter; optical drives? Put your Windows install on a thumb drive, and download the rest of your software. I haven't had an optical drive in my PC since the end of 2008 - there's just no need for CDs anymore.

Blue Ray!

[rec]

I've got one of those, in my media centre. That I haven't used in almost two years.

[Lothar]

But those of us stuck behind Telstra wholesale internet downloading high quality movies is not a option. I would play blueray dvds on the pc because I would have to turn on my PS3 to play them otherwise.

i have the samsung bluray reader and i sold the 2nd one to lothar

[Aegis]
