mike09198,
The actual recording speed depends on whether the DVD is CLV (Constant Linear Velocity) or CAV (Constant Angular Velocity. CLV is really good for fast data transfer, but is not as good at access times, because of the need for the disk to either speed up or slow down to match the location on the DVD, before it can address it.
I notice that you have an AD7220s, among others. I have two of them myself, and I'm curious to see how you like it.
Best Regards,
Russ

More than enough said all the room you need in this puppy and alot of choices either air cooling/water cooling and above or below psu mounting and you can run dual power supplies for Mean Nasty System and enough bays..You CAN"T go wrong with Cooler Master..I perfer

Shaffaaf,
Please don't put pics that big on the screen. It knocks the crap out of smaller resolution screens! Use the direct link instead or the thumbnail. I can only imagine how bad it messes up someone's screen that's running 1280x1024 or less. It knocks my 1680x1050 off by half a page! I'd be grateful if you would fix it.
Thanks,
Russ

0.0!!!!! That's a mid-tower? It's huge! With some great features I think I will be switching cases. It's about 100 bucks more but it looks worth it.

mike,
Cooler Master makes two Mid Tower cases that can handle the 295.
COOLER MASTER Storm Sniper SGC-6000-KKN1-GP
COOLER MASTER HAF 932 RC-932-KKN1-GP
Both are the same depth as the Full Tower Haf!

Looks almost like the same case but a lot cheaper. The only different I see is no fan vent on the bottom.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119160
Lol by no means am I a Cooler Master fan even through it seems like it. Just $280 for a case seems steep. But I do know that if you don't have a great air flow or water cooling then you have nothing.
I guess my question is how much advantage does this case Conrsair 800D give over Cool Master Cosmos 1000? Price vs performance.

Russ the HAF932 is a full tower.. the HAF 922 is the mid tower.

even still there is plenty of room in any of them to put a small village in...lmao man i cant wiat for my 932..lol
as for the AD7220S i love mine if it wasnt for my liteon 20A4P being such a awsome drive (ide at that) i would get another 7220S

Rob,
You are right. I messed up, I was comparing case depth and copied the wrong case! LOL!! So the Storm Sniper is the only Cooler Master Mid Tower case deep enough to handle the 295! Sry!

aye aye, i personally am in love with lian-lis but i wanted to fit the 2500$ budget :D
i would recommend the Lian-Li PCA70FB or the PCA71FB.
still, the corsair case is one BEAST of a case! i love the tripple rad space in the top.

You guys are really making me think of Corsair 800D and making think of getting that one instead. Let's say it came down to getting a 295 card or the case.
Which one would be the better one to get and which one should be on the back burner? Don't get me wrong, I'm just debating on more power on the CPU or doing like you guys said and even it out so to speak.

OK got some update on my build.
This case I thought would fit the slim 360 on top with the fans inside it as well for my build. I have the XSPC RS360 Rad with 25mm fans and it hits my RAM clips along with my Alpha Cool CPU Block.
Thats ok going with plan two. XSPC RS360 still inside with 1 fan inside and the other two on the top. I will get a cover to cover the top two fans. The 360 fits fine, just had to drill holes under the top part of the case, but easy to drill. I am adding a 120 RAD as well on the back fan. My system will be set up kind've like this;
So far have these parts;
Waiting on the parts still to purchase;
- EK-FB KIT EVGA X58 Full Board Northbridge/Southbridge Water Block
- EK-Multioption RES 100
- Swiftech MCP655? Series 12 VDC Water Pump
- EK-D5 X-TOP Version 2
- BitsPower Fittings
- (UN)Designs Pump Z2-Bracket
- PrimoFlex Pro LRT Tubing
- Distilled Water with Silver KillCoils
Until then, back to Air

I have a friend who I got the Seagate 250 from, who wants to use an 80GB IDE as the boot drive and the Sata 250 for data. It starts to boot from the IDE and just hangs. He can do it the other way around, but the whole point is to get some use out of the 80! It shows in the setup and the IDE is selected as the boot drive, but it just won't boot with the Sata Data cable plugged in. I've never tried that. I've mixed SCSI and IDE without any issues, but this one has me stumped. Any constructive ideas would be appreciated.

Russ,
Is it possible that you have the SATA drive on socket #1, if so take it off that socket, or change the boot order in the BIOS. Also, sounds like you still have an OS on the SATA drive, if so reformat it.

Russ that is exactly the same thing i am doing right now. i have the 80gb ide pluged into the mobo ide header and 2 othe sata hdd plugged in as well and yes the one 500gb drive does have a OS on i swap back and forth every day now until i get the 80gb loaded with all the stuff i want. then clone it too the new 250gb hdd im getting tomorrow. its in route..lol
like sytguy said make sure the boot sequence is set for the ide to boot first and it has the pin in the master setting and not cable select.

If the motherboard has a second SATA controller try using that - swap from one colour SATA plug to one of another colour. I'm aware very very few motherboards have this but it's worth a bash.
I could put something funny here but I cant be arsed. Now GO AWAY! |

Rob, sytyguy & keith1993,
Thanks for the help guys! I never gave a thought to using the master jumper. I've used CS for so long, it never crossed my mind to try that. My friend Adam says thanks! No OS on the 250 at all. I wiped it with Killdisk II.
Thanks again,
Russ

Rob,
The "Check" is in the mail! ROFL!! That's one of those little things you forget all about. Who thinks of using MA or SL jumpers with a modern 80 wire cable? LOL!! It's something I rarely do and then only if the computer doesn't support the 80 wire cable. It's been all Sata HDDs for the last 4 years or so. I still don't like Sata when it comes to multiple drives. It's a pain in the A$$ to get all your drive letters lined up properly in My Computer. When I installed the Seagate 250GB, I had to unplug both ODDs, start the computer and manually address the new drive because it wanted to be drives "I" and "J"! I used Disk Managment and changed the drive letters to "E" and "F" and then shut down the computer and then plugged the ODDs back in. They are all plugged in, in correct order, first drive in Sata0, second in Sata1. ODDs are in Sata2 and Sata3. It still doesn't matter, they will still be messed up if you try and replace a drive. I never had this annoyance with IDE! The Seagate is about 20GB/s faster than the DeathStar! LOL!!
Thanks again,
Russ
