AMD vs Intel wouldnt be a war.. thats just a minor scuffle that wouldnt take INTEL 20 sec's to win.

nvidia vs ati. that is just a toss up. want's and need's. it al depends on what your wantnig to do with the card. from what i have read from you GPU guys there is no one better than the other. just depends on what you plan on useing it for.

now heres the true debate.1 odd or 5 odd??????

Im currently staring at 8 Optical drives. However, only 7 are ran. Each one has its own quirks is all. My sammys are excellent readers, as is one of my Litey's. Where the Optiarcs are EXCELLENT burners.

Not to my knowledge, installing an OS is about the only thing I use a DVD drive for.

7 is a good number but that means some are external drives. if i had the room(like creaky does) i wouldnt mind some extrernal drive. but that means i would have to have more than 6 sata plugins on my mobo wouldnt it???lol

5 is a good number. 3 of these for burning.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827118030
1 of these for scanning.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106332
and one of these to read.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827151187

now those will look nice in a HAF932.

EDIT:
about SSD's. from what ive heard/read about them isnt after so many read/write's the drive is junk? time for a new one? and if your gaming or encodeing that would happen in a few month??? why spend that kinda money and not get a few years use out of it? JM2C.

multiple burns, 3-5 at once.
now if 1 drive had it all in one then there would only be a need for 1 or 2 drives. but one is a great reader,1 is a great writer(burner),1 is the best at scanning. so yo uneed more than 1. now if someone made a drive that did all of these things as well as the others then only 1 would be needed.
but ya have to atleast have 2 so the other wont feel left alone. plus its easier to copy disc to disc. takes longer to rip to hdd then copy. just put main disc on drive 1 the copy to drive 2.
plus a case with 6 odd bays looks weird without something in there..

i know some prefer to rip to hdd the copy but once again its their choice/opinion.....

Each drive has its own quirk. Besides, they don't make things like they used to :( Backups are always wonderful :) Rob pretty much summed it up.

and nothing against you WIll, but i just dont like the looks,layout of the TPower I45 board, not enought sata plugs for me.
now you know...i don't have Any Hard feeling on what you wanna buy that's your money... i just suggested a few things to you about the I45 sense...i have it and what..i have learned about the board..i truely understand your reason for more sata ports you need them for your burners..i like storage Hard Drives cause i deal alot of torrents and ripping and music coverting so..i will be using my
2 x esata on the back panel for 2 x 1tb Wd green powers...i gonna
try to fit in another board myself later on down line (UD3P)I believe the Audio Chipset on the Gig board sounds better than the Biostar also..I admit that but i like the bios better in the biostar
no vdroop straight juice i believe that the energy saver freature that
the gigabyte boards offers and there's nothing wrong with that...

and with a new UD3P along with a Quad maybe the Q9650 will be down in price at Micro Center if they get some in...I'm keeping in contact with Dan Moody on that issue but it's gonna done after putting I45 back together snd show cased on Xtreme....

best of luck on your choice and remember I'm here to help you offline sense we live in the same city of cincinnati...

Enjoy building
Ya'll:)

As I said before, it's your choice, you know what's out there and what's right for you, we have no power to stop you. All I will say is that making a potentially large compromise for a board that looks nice is not something I would consider. (Oh, and PCI S-ATA cards are awesome! :P)

its not that the biostar isnt that cosmeticaly correct for my liking's. it only has the 6 sata ports and 1 lan plugin and its IDE plug is down at the bottom of the board. with these bigger cases the normal sized ide cable dont reach where i have my ide drives.
plus you can ask Will(heres anothe bad thing towards the gigabyte boards ive had) the pci S-ATA cards have failed horribly on my p35 board. i havent tried one on the p45 yet. and ive had 3 different cards.1 with 2 sata addons and 2 with sata and ide addons. i think i wound up giving 1 of them to Will and took the other back and still have 1 in the closet. i just wonder if i would have had issues with a different brand mobo??lol

im sorry sam i just dont understand your logic against the P5Q models there is wat to many success rates with these board for so many people to be wrong in owning one. and Sam im not trying to start anything between us, i do respect your insite on alot of things but the asus thing i just cant figure out...lol
