I dropped my Gateway notebook a few weeks ago, and now I need to replace my cdrw/dvd drive. I've already tried re-installing the drives and that didn't work..When looking for a new drive are there specific requirements my system needs, or will any cdrw/dvd drive work? Are they really expensive and difficult to install? I need as much info as possible. Thanks

Got a computer built for me in Vancouver, late Sept. 05, all new parts. It gave out late October of 06. Any idea on warranty for the hard drive? Because my system itself only had a 1 yr warranty; I was hoping the drive might have a longer one if I go through Samsung??

I'll be upgrading my PC and I've been considering what to do with my old CPU casing since I'll be replacing everything inside it. My old motherboard was an Asus ATX board, but I'll be using a microATX-size board once I upgrade. From what I've been told, the new processor I'm planning to mount will require a 500W PSU. Can I still reuse my casing if I just change the PSU?

I just got a computer and on the front it says DVD + RW. I know RW is re-writable but does that mean I can download movies off the internet and place them on a blank disc and watch them later or is that a different thing?

Hi,

I installed a new DVD-R drive in my desktop, per CNET's instructions . http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6603_7-5118840-1.html?tag=nav

It will play DVDs but the sound is all choppy. I have a CD-R installed too and the sound is now choppy on it also. I tried several different CDs and DVDs in both drivers with the same result. However my iTunes music plays perfectly. What's going on?

I really appreciate any help!

People seem to like the 5-button Intellimouse Optical and the Intellimouse Explorer. But I would like one with 7-buttons because I have a game in mind that would utilize them. The Habu mouse fits the bill except that it has software problems that everyone experiences.

What do you like and why?
