I'm building one of your Intel based super PC's. I ordered the sony DRU-835a as recommended and paid $82.59, plus tax and shipping. Amazon shipped through another vender called "Computer Brain" a sony DRU-840a (a $20 cheaper unit without lightscribe). Now I have to return the burner for a refund and find a new burner since the 835a is not available.

Any suggestions? I want lightscribe I think. I will be transfering old home videos to dvd with Pinnacle Studio Movie Box Ultimate, so I don't really need more software with the burner. How about the LG GSA-H10L or the Lite-on SHM-165H6S? These were listed in an April PC World top five article:

Also, with the ASUS P5N-E SLI LGA 775 motherboard I am finding that I may need more internal usb connectors for my dvd drives and 9 in one floppy drive. Any suggestion?

Thanks for your great site and anticipated advice!
