    SATA Drive Setup

    Would you just go with the combo drive or have 2 cd drives? I have always preferred having 2 so that I don't have to do as much disk swapping, especially if I am copying a disk. If I go with the combo drive, should I get the DVD writer also? Why do you like the A8V over the MSI board? Is...

    Thanks for the suggestion on the cpu. Is the fan/heatsink on the retail version enough, or would you recommend something else? MB: If I go with the MSI, I need an audio card - suggestions please! CD/DVD: Would you think that I need both a CD/RW & a DVD/RW or just a Cd Writer and a DVD Reader?
