well i'm sry, i had no intention to sound flamy. i guess it depends where you got your priorities. i for one will gladly take the penalties for having a near silent super oc behemoth. if that makes me take 2 x time to copy a cd, np, i don't copy that many media anyway. if you do however (shouldn't you be afraid of RIAA?) i can easily understand the added ease of having the second cdrom.
edit: btw why not install all the crappy devices on the gf's pc, i mean i won't allow a printer/scanner/whatever to pollute the surroundings of my game pc
