Can one go wrong with this burner for CDN$125 / US$81? I am happy with mine and I am about to recommend it to my boss and a buddy and would like some comments. I know Sharky recommends the Plextor 16x10x40 PlexWriter that costs a lot more. Speed aside, is it really worth it if the Panasonic...
Thanks for all your input. I printed out the responses for my co-worker. He was very impressed and plans to join the Anand forums for himself as a result. Unless he can really beat them down on the price for the 500, he will probably start saving for a better system instead.
A co-worker has asked if it would be worth it to upgrade his system from a 350 to a 500 AMD K6/2. He has 192 MB of RAM and uses it for sword-fight type games on the Internet through cable. Will the CPU upgrade make much of a difference for this type of game play or should he instead save his...
DavidCountryman,
Was the clip that metal piece of crap or was it the new plastic cam lever thing? I have had some scary moments trying to force the metal clip down on some P3-800's, so I was real happy to see the new plastic thing work tonight on my buddy's CUSL2-C from a retail boxed...
I got that 16x/40x Pioneer today (bulk/slot) for CDN$181 plus 15% tax. Its up and running, tested with a few different CD's including audio. Now I've got to get my hands on a movie DVD. My only comment so far is that the drive is kind of loud, at least compared to my Creative 36x CD.
The Pioneer 16X DVD / 40X CD-ROM (Slot Load) Drive's product code is DVD-105S for the OEM ("ATAPI Bulk Model").

I checked one out today in a store in Toronto for CDN$185 plus our 15% tax. I think I'll go back soon and buy it.
I got it installed. It sure is better than the old 17" Magnavox Magnascan/17 with .31 and 15.76" viewable. The E790 is a bit of a "fish bowl", but not too bad at all. You get what you pay for and I'm quite happy with this purchase. The image is BIG and has great colour. With...
Thanks a lot people, especially Laszlo for the review link. Sounds good, I'm convinced, I'll pick up an E790 hopefully this weekend! Once set up, I'll post on how it looks.
I'm about to get a Viewsonic E790 19" monitor. Any advice or experiences, pro or con? A friend is considering the 17" flat EF70, but I want the size and will sacrifice a flat tube for it. Thanks.
