Building my new machine, I'm thinking about getting the Lite On 52x24x52 CDRW and the Lite On 16x DVD, 48x CD ROM. I've been reading some pretty good things about them. What are your thoughts. Damn good prices on these at Newegg :D ($81 for both)

Lemme know what you think.

Thanks :)
 
Good CDRW

Excellent drives. Good software too (NERO) comes with it. It's a good buy at Newegg.com too. MaximumPC wrote them up as the must buy CDRW last month
 
I have so far built 4 PC's (for friends, not just me) and the Lite-On's are the drive of choice. Cheap, reliable, fast.

As was said, Newegg.com is the place to get them.
 
Thanks guys. You guys are supporting what I have already read. Sounds like it might be a done deal. :D
 
I have 2 of them - a new black 52X and an older 32X. They both work great. I also have a TDK 12X and two Generic 16X drives at home (yes, I have FIVE PCs and they all have CDRs, I know I'm nuts), and a Plextor 40X and Panasonic DVD burner at work.

Do you have LAN parties?
I would SO kick up a LAN party if I had that many machines, and I'd probably have a CD-RW drive for all my machines too

I mean, I frickin' have a drive bay with blue led knobs to control my green fan(s) speed(s).

also all the Lite-On drives I have used performed well.

I have a friend who's machine is eating a mouth full of crap, the machine is just dying a horrible death. But the CD-RW Lite-On drive still performs like a champ, easily now the best and most solid thing on/in his machine.

Jeez that sounds painful. You put images of a formerly inanimate object twisting and squirming in pain.

:D
 
Back in the early 90's, when I was running a service desk at a big computer chain, I used to have some pretty ferocious LAN partys. At that time I owned about eight 486 systems and DOOM was at it's peak.

More recently I keep four P3/Athlon systems in the house, plus an old P1 for a server and a P3 laptop. Because me and my friends have gotton older and busier we don't do the LAN thing as much. I'm playing mostly RTS games lately, although I did have a few people over to play Battlefield 1942 two weeks ago. That game is the most fun I've had in a "shooter" in a long time.
 
I love giving inanimate objects feelings. I like that one commercial where it's got the sad lonely lamp, and it gets replaced. And the guys "all, hey stupid. This lamps has no feelings, you don't care for it. Buy some at Ikea!" or something along those lines...

BF1942 only played the demo, which the demo is very lacking.
Wolfenstein, Counter-Strike, Americas Army Ops, SWAT3, Medal of Honor...my fave. LAN games there.

I used to hate first person shooters, then I realised I just hate ultra-unrealistic FPS (aimless no strategy at all death matches). And that I love WWII and team based military style FPS

do want to play Command&Conquer Generals though, since everyone is talking about it.
 
What I'm playing these days is 1942, Age Mythology, Medival: Total War, and Starcraft Broodwars (the only computer game I never grow tired of). I still occasionally play Age Of Empires II and Empire Earth.
 
I'm not a hardcore gamer...but I really got into Unreal Tournament & Unreal Tournament 2003. Can't wait to play UT2003 on my new machine when it's built. It was really stressing my old one out. :D
