First Time Builder Seeking Help.

I don't know if I'd go with any Sony-brand CD/DVD-related products what with that whole rootkit thing, although at this point it may be more of a preference than a real concern.

How ya doing, buddy?

I've never heard of thermal pads either. Are they still a problem if you're not overclocking? I am so clumsy about applying thermal paste. I'm not even sure how my Duron is running when I'm pretty sure I had paste running off the sides of the core.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
