A USB DVD ROM is used when needed. This PC case is quite small, a bit fiddly to assemble. So if you are a newbie I suggest you should buy the already assembled machine from quietpc.com. It is pricey but absolutely no noise, no moving parts. I have done a quick stress test by encoding video with Handbrake, CPU temperature went up to 54C after 10 minutes of almost 100% CPU use (ambient temperature 22 in the room). I think the CPU cooler is impressive. I highly recommend this for the home music studio enthusiasts. My favourite SW is Logic, use Hw interfaces; Tascam FW-1082 and Profire 2626. Beware hardcore gamers, this rig is not for you. :angry2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
