2. Power Supply
Rosewill RV350 ATX 350W Power Supply


I would put a larger power supply in it. Get atleast 600watts. This will also give you room to upgrade later should you decide too. Power Supplies have to run everything that is inside your computer. When doing audio your cpu and harddrives are being used hard. I run three 80 gig WD 7200. I'm also using a 500 watt power supply. If there is not enough wattage to keep everything going you may burn up the power supply. Also your hard drives could be staving for power too which could shorten thier life. I learned this the hard way. I had a old dell P-4 2.2 and my power supply went out and I just happened to have a older one laying around. It was only 250 watts and it lasted 2 hours powering that computer. When the power supply went it took the motherboard with it.

7. Hard Drive
Western Digital Caviar SE WD800JD 80GB 7200 RPM 8MB
Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

$42.99

8. DVD Burner
SAMSUNG Black 18X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL
18X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X
CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2M Cache E-IDE/ATAPI
DVD Burner


I would check into this also I'm not that familar with Sata yet, but I don't know if you can mix IDE and SATA to gether ????? Maybe someone on here will know the answer to that.
