You didn't want a 183, but you wanted a 182 (as stated in the specs)? Then send it back.
And never believe any picture shown on the website of an online shop.

Further reading I found the main source of the problem was my nforce4 chipset drivers so as soon as I went and updated them, I could burn the DVD with my SATA Harddrive in place.

How is your SATA controller configured in BIOS setup. It has to be set to "IDE" or at least a "non-RAID" mode in order to run with optical drives.
You may also uninstall Nvidia IDE drivers (run the Nforce setup from Control Panes -> Add/Remove software to do that) and let Windows install its standard IDE drivers.
