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.



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.

I've been meaning to clean it up, I've been busy.

The drive isn't as awesome as a find I found on Monday thou. Found one of the newer Logitech G15's for $3.99. My brother bought it.

I love my local thrift store. I really do.

sounds like he sells stuff, that "fell off the truck"
sometimes local shops can give you sweet deals, i also grabbed my Evga E-Geforce 8800gts there, for 50 euro,used,but like new, which i consider cheap, regarding the fact, most internet shops here have them for 100+,still
