I have build three machines with the Abit nf7-s running XP and Linux
Fedora. Great MB and easy to work with and I REALLY like the onboard
audio. I've had problems with the WD caviar 120GB JB, and have switched
to Maxtor 120's....don't know if the WD 80s are good or bad. I have two
of the Lite-On CDRW's that you mention and like them. I have one
machine with the Antec 380 and it's quiet and much better than the
Enlight it replaces (which fried after one year causing much grief)....I
only buy Antec's now and have been happy ever since.

Hope this helps.
