last few bits I bought were a samsung spinpoint 200Gb hdd, extra 512mb ram and a pioneer dvr-110d dvd dual layer writer.

have to say that the samsung and the memory have made life a lot easier and my system is a lot more responsive.

as for the pioneer haven't used it much, only burnt a few discs, but its very quiet and seems to do exactly what is says on the tin without any fuss or struggle. very good buy for £32.
