Yeah the SB XF-i seem to be a step up from the Audigy. Mine is always in this mode.

Reminded me when the 386DX33 was $1,800 and the price dropped to $800 in 7 days when the 386DX40 was released.

Now that would have upset some people, but who knew. I have found in order to stay sane (well sort of) is to ask your self, "Did I get a bargin at the time of purchase?"

Then I don't

and get

(Sorry, a bit off topic.)

Eeeek, I know it's been a while but what happened to my join date and post numbers? (No answer necessary......just now getting over the shock.

I have added a Lite-On DH-20A4P to my drives.

I have tested Maxell 12X DVD-RAM writing and erasing and all is good.

Where did you buy the 12X Ram media?

I ordered 3 pieces from this site but i guess it's no longer available > http://club.cdfreaks.com/f33/maxell-...-tried-206998/

Alan the deal was you ordered them from NYC (audiocube.com) they ordered them from Osaka,JP and then they mailed them to the customer. Took 6 days to get them but i thought that was fast.

Cost me $30+ for 3 of them. About $12 a piece with shipping.

Nice setup Bob.

And I thought I was a freak, instead I turned out to be a mini-freak.

Nice collection of drives you have there

gOdisOnyOuRsIDe · 03-04-2008

Todays mobos only have 1 IDE slot. I currently have 4 optical drives and would like to keep then when I build my new computer and possibly add more. Is there a PCI card I can buy to add IDE slots?

*edit* nm, found the answer a few posts back

*pinto2* · 05-04-2008

Ooops. Forum acting up. Please delete

And you'll find some good suggestions at top of this forum section in "read first" thread, Linky

@DiiZzY a few posts above. I agree completely about most of the hardware, but on a new build I would go with $ntel at time being, when $$/performance matters.

*DiiZzY* · 05-04-2008

This is mostly old hardware from my desktop/workstation.
RS482M4-ILD is roughly 3 years old by now. I would also go for Intel but this hardware works fine for what its supposed to do.

By popular demand [or by humble request, rather]

Not at all on-topic, but it's Bob's thread, and his request.

MCC 004 @ 12x
Pioneer DVR-112D, fw1.24 with Bitsetting and Speed Read
Screenies of the Disc Info and Benchmark tabs, by both the LiteOn 20A1P and the Pioneer. EDIT: Also posted the settings page.

This is for Science!

*Bob* · 22-05-2008

Just for my own reference here's the drives i have installed on this date.

burnselk · 22-05-2008

Think you've got enough drives Bob? Good grief...why on earth do you have so many drives? Just kidding......it's your $$....live it up.

Hi burnselk i have more drives but this is all i can fit in this rig right now. If i had some more external cases i would add a few more. I could have made it 13 drives but i don't like that number

By the way member jamescooley1 has 15 in his rig last i counted

*Bob* · 13-06-2008

Again for my reference this is my drives at this time.

I see you updated your configuration, a SH-S223 is new in your system, what are you thinking about this drive? I'm thinking about building such a drive in my Internet PC...

Only a question, is there a reason your Plextors are running with that old firmware? Even the Premium II 1.03 works fine for me...

Hi TM!

223F has been just an ok burner but a heck of a good reader. C0deKing has released the DL16 which will make it read a dual layer disc at 16x but i know you don't rip DVD's much.

As far as my Plex's firmware is well if it works fine with it i don't flash it.

Hope all is good your way!

daperson · 19-06-2008

Uh... stupid question, but why do you need so damn many CD writing drives?! Are you needing to mass produce disks or something?

No question is stupid if you don't know the answer.

It was a build i wanted to do and had the money at the time. No mass producing for me. I just like the fact that i can have many of my burners at my disposal and not have to switch them out all the time. It's just a hobby.

My older builds case only holds 3 optical drives.

daperson · 19-06-2008

Ever actually used them all at once? If you do i consider it quite possible your compuer will vibrate itself off the desk
