Just took a half day off from work, stopped by CompUSA, bought a 250 watt PSU, took it home plugged it in and....
well you know the rest of the story or else I would not be typing this message so far so good. They were out of the 350watt supplies. I figured since the one that was in there before was 300, the 250 would work. This machine pretty much has the bare essentials.
Now I can burn my movie.....burn burn burn away 2X burning sucks

Great. Glad to hear that you got it working. 2X burning, how long does that take... 4X is somewhere around 30 minutes to copy and 30 to burn.

Hey,
Glad you got it workin. Be careful if you go to add another harddrive or somethin.
If your interested in a good dvd burner upgrade look for a NEC 3520A. Very reliable and fast, oh and only 40 bucks a newegg.

thanks guys....Normally I just copy, oops archive the movie only using DVD Shrink and no compression. If I recall it takes 30-40 minutes to create to my hard drive, then I use RecordNowDX which came with my Sony burner to put it on a blank DVD. The entire process takes around an hour I suppose...

Randy,
I would seriously look in to a quality 350-400 watt PSU. 250 watts are just not enough even with a barebones pc nowadays. And the $15 or $25 CompUSA specials are the equivalent of a cheap Aiwa HT receiver. Computers like lots of clean power. I like the Antec TruePower series. They have separate transformers for each voltage, instead of one transformer and v-regs. Also, if you look around, you can get a USB 2.0 5.25" external case for your DVD-burner for $20. This way you have a portable DVD+-+R-w#_& whatever for about 1/3 the price of an off-the-shelf external. NEC makes very good DVD writers. I think they are better than Sony's.
