Adding a second DVD drive

RadeonProVega · Oct 27, 2009

This is my system:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883114066

Do i need to buy another Sata/red cord/with a black plugin?
There is a sata cord hook up to the back of my dvd drive?

Also my other question, is there a way to clean both fans in my rig without taking something apart?
The PSU fan and the fan inside the case.

You will need a sata cable if you wish to add a second SATA dvd drive (it dosnt matter what colour) If you have no free sata ports you might wanna look at getting IDE dvd drive

Use an Air compressor to clean your fans (you can also buy cans of compressed air if you dont have access to air compressor)

Stupid question, but judging from this photo:
http://images17.newegg.com/is/image/newegg/83-114-066-S10?$S640W$

I do have IDE slots for a ide drive?

also i only need one internal hd for my system, because i have a 500gb external hook up to my computer.

Yes, and should be able to plug 2 IDE devices into it but make sure ones set to master and the other as slave.

The black one is a floppy drive.
