There are 22X writers with Lightscribe for that price.I'm not saying you can burn @ 22X.Nor you will not use lightscribe.SO just get a good quality writer which will read DVDs in speed and accurate.

22x writers are out of stock i think,i dunno. all the shops had asus and that crappy Samsung writer which has a high failure rate when writing.yes even a 20x is also useless as most of us have 16x roms in dvd players etc...

how much is a light scribe DVD ?

Today I bought this Asus DVD writer (with light scribe), it was tagged for Rs.3650, bt Winsoft gave it for Rs.3600, You can find em cheaper in Barclays too. I'm lovin it, but it doesn't have that rock solid heart touching feeling when touched, what Asus had 2,3 yrs back. :rolleyes:

Asus sux when it comes to optical department IMO,
Only ASUS CD-ROM drivers were great. I have a CD-ROM which is 5years old (+) and still works perfectly
P.S : It could read CDs even my Asus Combo drive couldn't read ( written using the same Combo :P )

i dunno , I have never ever had any issues with Asus ODDs. I've owned 3 including this,
2 cd writers and this DVD writer.

yeah even i remember those days they had a good suspension system, very low noise, and was rock solid , was heavy compared wit others.

I had issues with a Sony CD Combo and a DVD writer
(some cds cannot be read by sony which are written in some bulky Cd,DVD duplicators, when i ask my retailer he said that sony is most probably made to run original CDs dvds :P ). i bought "just cause" game and didn't work wit ma prev. Sony and wit ma frnds samsung.

Samsung users say that they sucks their balls so hard, almost every generation. coz they have a higher failure rate when it comes to writing.
I think liteon is also good, dunno much

    dont buy those mboards with g31 or p31, they are like downgraded versions of their line.
    They are alright as long as you have all the features you need. You get a lot for the money you pay, than those so called highend/enthusiast level mobos.

    Funny thing is people pay scary amount for the mobo, for example Striker Extreme or Rampage Formula, and then use only one VGA, not overclock the CPU (or only overclock slightly), not use RAID and use 2.1 crappy Creative speakers. You can get the same thing from a ~Rs.10000 mobo too. :P

    I can't remember the model, but there was a CoolerMaster PSU at Mitech and it was Rs.22000 iirc. Didn't check the model, because I don't care about what I can't reach :P

    ROG my shit :lol:
    100% agreed, all those are marketing gimmicks, mid range mbos can oc as good as those so called 'high-end' thingys. bt you cannot find that lcd poster in mid range or low end mobos :P :lol:
