| I have just $50 to spend, and only at Newegg, what would help my build the most? My top choices are: A SATA DVD burner (eww IDE!) -or- A Thermalright chipset cooler for mad OC skillz! -or- Swiftech GPU water cooling (would put me slightly over budget) I would like your honest opinion on this!

| The Real Final Word | I think that you need the pink case to go with the mouse ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Na, just kidding Nate, from the looks of it, I think the best buy for the money is the Samsung DVD burner!! But I think if you dig a little deeper, you can find the Samsung burner with the LightScribe for around the same money! ![]() |

| Thanks Stinger. I need a few more opinions on this though before I make my decision.

| Couldn't help myself, I got a cable sleeving kit and a molex/ATX PSU remover to aid with the sleeving. Expect an update to my worklog in the coming weeks. Thanks to Rich for the Newegg gift certificate!

| Yea, sorry, too late, but I wouldn't say a wire sleeving kit was a bad choice... I have some tricks up my sleeve (pun?) to make that H2G0 look pretty good! ![]() Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 + Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme DFI Blood Iron P35-T2RL + Thermalright HR-05 IFX 2GB G.Skill 800MHz F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 320MB Silverstone Decathlon 650W Western Digital 250GB SATA II |
