I have a Corsair 450D, and I was worried about my optical drive making my case look ugly. After some Googling, I found stealth drives. There aren't really any good tutorials, can anyone give tips on making one? Thanks in advance.

1. OC’s CPU to 4.3 GHz 1.3 Volts. Tested with Prime 95 temps did not exceed 80 degrees. Tested with intelburntest temps reached but did not exceed 90. Dropped to 4.1GHz just to be safe. 2. Played Guild Wars 2, listened to music from google play on chrome, for 2 hours. Real temp never reported temps higher than 65 degrees. Stopped playing and computer froze. Had to power down with case’s power button. 3. On reboot- It got to the windows loading screen, froze, BSOD and rebooted faster than I could read if there was an error message. Then it said “Preparing automatic repair,” froze, BSOD and rebooted. 4. went into BIOS and reset to factory. Rebooted and got same as #3 5. went back into BIOS and 10 sec in Bios froze. I turned everything off and unplugged machine. 6. Cleared CMOS- was able to boot into BIOS and mess with settings- left everything at stock, CPU Stock speeds, no freezes in bios. Attempted to start up, and got to the windows loading screen, froze, BSOD and rebooted. Then it said “Preparing automatic repair,” froze, BSOD and rebooted. 7. Tried to use windows live disc to boot from disc, got boot from CD/DVD prompt, then from CD windows loading screen, disc began to spin up and stopped, screen froze, BSOD, and rebooted. 8. Disconnected everything. Posted with CPU, MB and tested each stick of RAM alternating Sticks and Slots till all combos tested. Then just left one stick in, with SSD, HDD, and optical drive (individually and in combinations). Once drives reinstalled, same problem. Freeze at windows screen, BSOD and reboot. Did not reinstalled GPU. 9. Rebooted into BIOS, sat there idle while searching for answers on phone when machine shut off CPU Temps were idling at 30 degrees. The computer was unresponsive to pressing power button. Unplugged, waited 5 minutes and plugged back in. I was able to boot back into BIOS. Os still froze etc. 10. Tried Ubuntu live cd. Disc drive spun up, was able to access menu. Clicked Try Ubuntu without Changing PC” option. Went to loading please wait screen, Disc spun up, then stopped spinning and screen hung at loading please wait. 11. I turned everything off. Unplugged machine. So here is where I think I stand (please correct me if my assumptions are incorrect) 1. The CPU, motherboard, RAM, and CPU cooler are most likely fine- I wouldn’t be able to get into BIOS otherwise and temps would not be under control. Also I wouldn’t get any info from the optical drive to the monitor if the MB was fried, right? 2. I’m leaning toward my PSU dying. I think this due to the random shut down while idling in bios, and the optical drive quitting at full spin up. If my PSU was under powering my SSD and HDD, it could cause the OS from loading, correct? I also know that it’s possible, if the PSU crapped the bed, that the other peripherals could be fried, I hoping not though. 3. I need advice on what to do next. I don’t have spare parts to replace out. Do you think getting a power supply tester would be a good next step- or should i just get a new PSU? Does it seem like I’m on the right track, or am I way off? System specs OS: Windows 8.1 64bit CPU: Intel i5-3570K (Stock up until friday then 4.3GHz at 1.3 v then back to stock when system started acting up) Cooler: Corsiar H80i MB: Asus P8Z77-V LK RAM: 16gb (4x4GB) Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 GPU: GTX 970 Gigabyte Windforce G1 (no OC) HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB SSD: OCZ 128GB Vertex 4 series Optical Drive: Lite-ON ihbs11204 Blueray/dvd/cd burner/player PSU: OCZ ModXtream Pro 700watt EVGA SUpernova G2 850 Update 6/8/2015 I made a Lubuntu live USB, with persistence and was able to access the SSD and HDD from a different computer (an 11 year old Dell that's been collecting dust) by removing the HDD in the dell and running linux off the USB drive and connecting the drives from my main computer. The USB also has memtest on it, so I ran memtest on my ram while sitting in the busted gaming PC. Memtest ran fine, no errors in the memory. (I couldn't do this in the old machine because it used DDR2 memory) I also removed the H80i and replaced it with the stock intel heat sink to make life easier, and re-seated the CPU during the process to cover my bases. I even disconnected the front IO and was using a screwdriver to turn on the computer. I got a new power supply, an EVGA Supernova G2 850W. With the new PSU in the system, the problem persists. So set up the new PSU. Only connected the 24pin MB, 8 pin CPU, one stick of ram. booted up and got the beep from MB speaker that it posted (one short beep). Turned it off. Took out RAM. Powered on, and got the MB alarm for no RAM. Turned it off. Reinstalled the RAM, then Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor . Post, then was able to get into BIOS. no freezing. Rebooted, this time into the live usb. I was able to actually get into the OS for the first time. About a minute into messing around (opening folders) the whole thing froze on me. I shut it down. Then, to be thorough, I reconnected the SSD with windows on it and it still froze at he windows splash screen. I tried one last thing before giving up. I took the old HDD (Windows XP) out of the dell and installed it in the new machine. I got a BSOD after passing the bios screen with an actual error code this time. STOP: 0x0000007B (0xBACC3524, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) now this looks like a boot drive error, but i know the HDD works. I had been screwing around with the dell without a problem all week. So, at this point, I think I'm looking at a borked MB or CPU. What confuses me, is that I'm able to run memtest and get proper alarm codes from the MB but it just refuses to boot into any OS for more than a couple of seconds.

Hello, this is my first post in this awesome forum, I am planing to build an HTPC inside of the Fractal Design Node 605. After ordering all parts, I read on some sides, that the optical drive will only fit, if i am going to use something smaller then ATX, but is there a way to fit booth at the same time, because I want to go SLI... http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HKv7gs I was unable to find the SSD, it's an Intel M.2 with 180gb

When I bought my server with the order I bought a BD-RE in the mindset of "in case I may need one". At that moment the DVD-RAM drive in my workstation is still in perfect working state. Now after I upgraded the workstation I got both DVD-RAM and BD-RE drives in my workstation. Is there any point keeping this configuration, or am I cluttering my already very small OEM chassis? I do know that having two optical drives, with at least one of them being burner (or in my case, both,) allows me to make copies of optical drives relatively easily. However there aren't many optical discs floating around now...

So after I ordered all my parts for my build, I totally forgot that I didn't have access to wired internet. So, then I proceeded to go on line and try to come up with a wireless wifi adapter that supports 802.11 n, usb, and goes up to 300mbps. I cannot find one that supports windows 8.1m, does anyone have any suggestions? Also, I am most certain that a cd installation guide comes with the wifi adapters, and I am sure that the optical drive that I ordered is OEM. Since I do not have the drivers for the cd, will that affect my installation of the adapter? Thanks for the help.

Hello people! So I've recently been looking forward to building a desktop for Christmas and of course I've been looking at parts. But I just love the sleek design of the NZXT S340 Mid tower case, and then, since I really love this case, thought I'd check out NZXT's website, so I did. I found a touch screen fan controller, and at such a low price, it instantly went on my "to buy" list. But then I thought about the design of the case and the front has fans behind the panel. So then I thought, where do I put the fan controller? And then I thought even more importantly, where does the disc drive go!? So can you guys help me out? Here is a link for the case.

Hey Guys, So i'm building a computer and the case that I'm getting doesn't have any compatibility for an optical drive. So I thought nothing of it but now i'm thinking, "How am I gonna install windows?" So I was thinking that I could use an external optical drive that connects with two usbs. Will this work? Thanks for the help!

I am in the process of ripping my parent's CDs and DVDs, and i thought it would be a bit faster, if i had a few more optical drives in my system - no problem. Found som spares, but when i plug a secondary optical drive in and try to boot, it just tells me to select proper boot device. I went into the BIOS and found that my boot drive is still on top of the boot priority list. Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it? I'm using a MSI Z77A-GD65 motherboard with an SSD as boot drive (OCZ Agility) along with a Western Digital Blue and Western Digital Black for storage and of course the optical drive which is already in my system.

Hey everyone, I just did a fresh install of Manjaro Linux. I have an old CD in the laptop, and the only thing on it is an installer for malwarebytes (mbamsetup). The thing is, when I go to delete that file, the delete option is greyed out. When I try to open it, there is a little lock symbol on the icon, and I get an error. The CD mounts at /run/media/[username]/[label of cd] automatically. I tried to switch to root and then open/delete it, but when I am root the icon for the CD doesn't appear on the desktop. Can anyone help? Thank you!

So, I've just brought a few games on the steam summer sale and it got me thinking about a few things. 1. Do steam games support mods, (I brought Fallout 3 and Fallout: NV) If so, would it be more advisable to buy the physical game? 2. Do physical, non-steam games show up in one's steam library? 3. Is the DRM on steam particularly annoying/intrusive (enough to buy a physical game)

I'm not sure if this is the right part of the forum t post this in, but it seems the best fit. I want to install a blu-ray burner into my PC. For years, I've used my PS3, but want to watch 1080p movies using my really nice PC speakers and subwoofer. I honestly have no idea what is a good blu-ray player and what isn't; I understand that some come with software to play blu-rays, while others don't. Are the more expensive drives that come with software better? Or is that software crap? What is the best downloadable software to play blu-ray movies? I also want to rip blu-rays so I can store them onto my HDD and be able to move the files anywhere (so I can play them on my laptop/tablet/phone, none of which have blu-ray drives). What's a good program to rip blu-rays? My internet searches haven't yielded any reliable information. I've done some basic searching on amazon, and this burner seems pretty good for the price. Do any of you guys have any recommendations? I'm more comfortable in the $50-$70 range.

i am leaning towards this one: http://www.asus.com.au/Optical_Storage/Internal_Bluray_Drive/BW12B1ST/ for $119 but there is also this one: http://www.lg.com/us/data-storage/lg-BH16NS40 which is also $30 cheaper for $89. questions for both. will this run 3d games as well? i know it says 3d movies but it doesn't specify games. i will be playing movies and games with the asus gtx geforce 680 4gb direct cu2 with an asus VG24QE 24in widescreen 144hz 3d monitor through the nivida 3d vision 2 glasses.. i know everything else is compatibleare but are these drives as well and which is better? if their is a better one i am open to suggestions and better options.

I was curious if anyone knew of a manufacturer that makes an optical drive which can be mounted in the back IO, i really like the Bitfenix Phenom and . I'm fairly sure this is possible, but I don't particularly want to rig up a laptop-drive to a bracket.

I'm building a HTPC for myself in Node 304 and since it hasn't got any 5.25" bays and it's a HTPC - I need an external optical drive. It has to read blu-ray, write/read DVDs also write/read CDs. Which one you would recommend? How about ASUS SBC-06D2X-U? It also has to be as cheap as possible. Thanks in advance, John.

Hi! Since I do some media work, I'd like a way to read discs and cards. Doing this, however, takes up two of the three 5.25" bays on my Corsair 750D, which does not look the greatest when such bays are used up. Some have used this product to do exactly as mentioned, putting both a disc and card reader into one 5.25" bay. However it looks like it is unavailable for purchase. I was wondering if there was any other product similar to this? Also, I was wondering if it would be possible to stealth this somehow. With a normal 5.25" bay, I could just take the aluminum off the cover and stick it to the drive bay (like this), however doing this would prevent me from using the SD card slots. Is it possible to make a door out of the bay cover instead (like the 900D's front I/O cover or like the XFX Type 1 Bravo)? Any help is appreciated, thanks!
