    Re: Wanted - hardware for complete system upgrade

    It's a pretty slimline drive mate. Not much bigger than it has to be for fiting all the gubbins inside! Probably equivalent to 2 jewel cases stacked on top of each other. And pink ;)

    Re: Wanted - hardware for complete system upgrade

    Funnily enough xr4, I've just sat down and realised that of course new games (and not so new ones) are all DVD Roms rather than CDs. Something that hadn't even crossed my mind until now!

    Anyway it...

    Re: Wanted - hardware for complete system upgrade

    Me neither! I went and got a decent (external) CDD yesterday with all the usual 'DVD' and 'RW' logos and such on the faceplate so this time I'm safe. As I said, I'd never even considered a Compact...

    Re: Wanted - hardware for complete system upgrade

    Seems that the problem is the hardware itself from what I can tell... This makes no sense to me but apparently in this modern age of technology people are still making CDDs that are just that. It...

    Re: Wanted - hardware for complete system upgrade

    Thanks guys, still having no luck with this so far and the lens seems ok. I kind of wish I had some more of the small CDs to test as that's the only one that's worked so far. Can't imagine why size...

    Thanks TMM, must've missed those options as I simply chose to install it to the existing partition! Will reformat in the next week and get a fresh install going. In the mean time, any ideas from...

    Re: Wanted - hardware for complete system upgrade

    I'm happy to say it worked! The USB CDD didn't do it's job though so I had to half-inch an internal SATA one from the same friend who loaned me the external HDD for my backup! Worked ok once I had...

    Thanks for the reply. I went ahead and got the cheaper one, hell £50 is no small saving and I can't see any major differences save for onboard graphics! Haven't ordered RAM or CPU yet so will wait...

    Indeed, very nice. Sadly my antiquated case and CPU fans are meaning the quietness of it is unnoticeable for the mostpart but it's still a noted improvement even now!
