Hi, thanks for the advice.

I finaly bought:

Samsung 160GB, 8MB Cache, U133
LG GSA-4040B (DVD+-4x, RAM 3x, CDR 24x)

So far, I am happy with it. Need to play around some more with it.

The GSA-4040B seem to burn all kind of media. No problems yet.

I wouldn't buy that drive. For a more few bucks I would buy the Plextor 708-A drive.
And I wouldn't buy the Samsung HDD drive too, I'd rather buy the WD drive. Samsung HDD's are not bad, but WD has better performance. Samsung HDD's are known for their low noise level.
