Gotcha! Repost when in the rig. Not that it will be matching anything since your heatsink and gfx cards conceal most of the mobo's color scheme.

Got a ASUS SATA DVD-RW/CD-RW Lightscribe drive today for $4.99 at my local thrift store.

Just saved myself the hassle of having to order one off newegg. Yes, it works fine. :D



Also changed a few things around inside the case, mostly just cable management. I'll have to redo it again soon in the near future. When my new fans arrive.

Yeah, I would think that too, except "my local thrift store" is Goodwill. A major non-profit chain.

They just don't care, the trick is, to get there as soon as they open, after they stock the shelves with new stuff.
