Update:
Build 90% complete. Need extra cables and such to finish it up.
Dropped in an old hd to test the system. Scored 1328 in Cinebench R15.
Very happy. Two Evo 212s are a tight fit, but working great. Running Aida64, temps didn’t get over 65C. Ambient room is about 78F.
The Northbridge...
I have the option to pickup a cheap setup (~$80). Dual x5650, 24gb ram. Supermicro board, so no overclock that I can see. X8DLT-IF.
Money is tight. What could I expect to see for handbrake. Encoding bd mkvs to mp4. Slow settings, Constant, 18 1080p.
Current pc is fx-8320e overclocked to 4.0...

Question about this being a rebadged Sony - checking the specs of the DRU500 - they don't match the ones Dell lists..
Sony Liteon
160ms 300ms access times cd
200ms 250ms access time dvd
Anyone know which Sony this is supposed to be?
Just an fyi on this. The upc is the same as the ones for the 80 min 700 MB. They even ring up the same. I picked up 2 since they were 80 min. They seem fine so far, no coasters. I use them for my sons (4 yr old) tv shows he likes. I don't care if they don't last more than 2 years, he won't...
