[Sebastian6259]

[robin1361]

if you here something moving around in the drive like a tiny screw inside the drive is that normal or would it affect it in anyway?? please respond

[Skayzifly]

Can you read DVDs with the Bluray drive ?

[davomrmac]

@Skayzifly Yes.

[Skayzifly]

@davomrmac Thank you :)

[JellySoldier]

The cables you used for the Bluray drive. Did you buy it or did you get it in the package?

[davomrmac]

@JellySoldier in the package.

[Jebus36O]

For security reasons!? Yeah coz nobody wants to steal a hard drive if u need to take it out of the plastic when you get home. lol

[xIIIAlcopwnageIIIx]

Do you have to be weary of the power supply when installing a optical drive?

[thescallykiller]

whats ur mother board?

[TehZebo]

I bought the HDD here: www0newegg0com/Product/Product­0aspx?Item=N82E16822152238

Do I need to buy the cord that you plugged it in with seperately?

[davomrmac]

@TehZebo it might come with one, but if not it'd only be a couple of dollars.

[MrGrandDragon]

Can this optical drive also read normal DVD?

[DaSoggyRiceCake]

5 people bought their computer at Best Buy...

[purplewolfpimp]

I have the same blu ray drive for my pc. and it wont play my final fantsy advent children, complete BD. theres not firware updates to update drive with. Can someone plz help me. Thanks.

[tif92604]

What about the wiring you said you were going to do.. where is that?

[davomrmac]

@tif92604 It is on the channel, check out the PC Build Series playlist.

[liam666cob]

I got a samsung blu ray drive and it worked perfectly for the first couple of things i watched but now its sort of skipping and playing at less than 1 fps. i have had this problem before with a different pc with the dvd drive. I have reinstalled drivers and used a different sata cable and its still not working properly. does anyone know why this is happening?

[kkjiikk]

@liam666cob

check your power supply

[gladio4ever]

Anybody know how to crack the annoying country code lock?

[MrGETNOW]

nice video

[ninomilobrown]

I have this blu-ray drive iis also lightscribe suppoeted. But it cant read ps3 games if you think if you want to back up your games.

[thedarknesspiczo]

good news dave, you persuaded me to get the LG BH10LS30... thought i'd treat myself as its my birthday :)

[davomrmac]

@thedarknesspiczo I hope you enjoy it.

[EtienneLF]

@davomrmac Is the LG CH10LS20.AUAU any good because I can't find any good reviews or descriptions of it and I don't really know that much about optical drives to judge for myself whether it's good or not. It's from Scan uk, so it can't be terrible.

Thanks in advance

[davomrmac]

@EtienneLF Yes this is good drive. I tested an external equivalent of this and it worked fine.

[ashish2012uk]

Great helpful videos for a novice.

can you tell me if it is possible to setup a raid 1 for the operating system and a raid 5 with 3 disks for my data using the P6X58D-E motherbaord.

Thanks

[davomrmac]

@ashish2012uk Wow, I am really not sure on this one. Anyone else?

[Ryd3r22]

@davomrmac what is RAID?

[davomrmac]

@Ryd3r22 A way of using two or more hard drives in a combination, either to improve speed or to provide backup of data.

[Ryd3r22]

@davomrmac thank you, but what is the advantage of 2x 1tb vs 1x 2tb? also this case takes 5.25 disk drives, those are hard to find, or can you use different size?

[davomrmac]

@Ryd3r22 Advantage of 2x is to stripe data, this is faster performance. This case takes 3.5 inch hard drives, so standard size and 5.25 optical drives which are standard size too.

[Amanofwords1]

@davomrmac i am going to be buiding my first gaming rig i need to know when i get my samsung blu ray drive can i use it normally to download the hardware stuff first and put in windows and all that stuff then install the software last into the drive so it can run blu ray movie?

[davomrmac]

@Amanofwords1 Yes that should work fine, it should be recognised as a generic drive.

[ZAEZAE121]

I though your hands were when I saw the pink plastic bag

[PhilipOConnell]

Hi Dave My dell seems to be having problems booting into my dvd drive when it comes to installing windows 7 so I am considering getting the blu-ray drive in your video just wanted to know did you boot the pc up from the install dvd and format the hard drive and everything using the lg blu-ray drive when you installed windows 7 and can the blu-ray drive play CDs or not.

Thank you if you have time to answer.

[davomrmac]

@PhilipOConnell Yes, the LG BluRay drive was used to boot from and install Windows. It also supports DVD's and CDs.

[toujames]

Great Video!! Do you think you can post a Mac series using the mac pro case? Im more into mac then pcs :D

[davomrmac]

@toujames Awesome idea, I will look into it.

[TheJacobHolmes]

I'm a Mac person but this machine looks nice... I wanna build a PC... I wish I had the money.

[getblitzed]

Can u make me an iPad with this specs

[davomrmac]

@getblitzed Now that would be awesome.

[90aunder]

i like these vids cos u could literally build a pc even if you dont know what your doing? i might buy all the exact same parts and use these vids word for word???

[davomrmac]

@90aunder Thanks.

[JoDaddyy]

Why use a SATA HDD for a PC?

[davomrmac]

@JoDaddyy SATA is the standard connection.

[rav07]

Great video, very helpful. ;-)

By the way Dave, where can I find out about the internal components of Macs (Hard Drives, RAM...). It's just that I am going to an Apple Service Centre for work experience and I need to know about Macs as a I will be 'assisting' in repairs. My dad owns a Printing firm so he has a few Macs but I need to know what I'm doing first lol.

Would be great if you could help me out, if you know of any sites/books or perhaps own knowledge. Reply via PM please ;-)

[davomrmac]

@rav07 Try iFixiT - good luck with your work experience. PM me with any specifics, I used to maintain a network of Macs.

[arrow1archer]

These videos are cool my dad used to make pcs when he worked for macro I hope to work with computers when I'm older

[EverythingISTech]

The drive does support 50GB Blu-Ray discs right?

[davomrmac]

@EverythingISTech Yes.

[LaithBSoul]

@EverythingISTech and by 50GB Blu-Ray discs you mean a dual layer Blu-Ray disc right lol

[martkt10]

may i ask where you got the BluRay drive from and could it be used with a mac?

[davomrmac]

@martkt10 Misco and possibly it could be used in a Mac. Definitely if you an external enclosure for it.

[songdermanjeram]

I want to build my own pc but my friends always tell me about static and stuff that can ruin the CPU and motherboard during installation. Is this true?

[davomrmac]

@songdermanjeram Very true, but you can sort this by following the CPU instructions.

[g739]

very interesting video dave a plan on building a computer sometime in the future and i will use these videos to help 

[davomrmac]

@g739 Cool.

[RUDY2295]

why not get an ssd? solid state drive instead of an hdd

[davomrmac]

@RUDY2295 SSD is here, upgrade video in a week or two.

[RUDY2295]

@davomrmac sounds awesome.

[TheCallumBaillie]

@RUDY2295 Theres not much point of SSDs until the capacity's get larger

[davomrmac]

@TheCallumBaillie I will be installing a 256GB for the OS and also Adobe software.

[videomasters2468]

the bluray drive still moves slightly, so were you unable to screw the drive into place

[davomrmac]

@videomasters2468 You can still screw it in place.

[egeknight5]

can you pls say me what the bluray fom lg cost?

[davomrmac]

@egeknight5 It is in the more info panel... £99.

[egeknight5]

@davomrmac do you know how much that cost in euro?

because i live in germany

[PepitoIngles]

Really interesting videos Dave. I look forward to these every day! I'll be sad when they come to an end :(

[davomrmac]

@PepitoIngles Don't be sad :)

[marquesbrownlee]

Great step by step instruction once again!

Also great speaker suggestion to @WARSinRIOTS - I'm going to check 'em out now.

[davomrmac]

@marquesbrownlee Thanks, the M-Audio or the Edifier R1900T II are very good too. @WARSinRIOTS.

[gbenifits1968]

wow...nice tutorial mr.dave..ur tempting me to build my own pc,so many to choose from in akihabara.they sell bargains

[CallOFwar100]

nice video

[M1CH43LC]

Once you've finished the build and the PC is complete do you think you could give us a general idea of how much it all cost?

[davomrmac]

@M1CH43LC Around £1,000 to £1,200.

[davidleacy]

Hey dave quick question where did you buy all your parts and how much did the complete build cost .great vids keep up the good work.

[davomrmac]

@davidleacy Most of them from Scan or the manufacturer direct. Prices are being listed in each video.

[MrTechtalk]

i actually look forward to these videos Dave and cant wait until its all done and to see all your hard work pay off!!

[davomrmac]

@MrTechtalk Thanks.

[iTrev72]

Enjoying these videos Dave. Looks like you could have give me the push to build my own pc. Keep them coming.

[davomrmac]

@iTrev72 Will do, three more to go.

[PC4Free]

I know I would screw in the hard drive too, but if someone was going to nick the drive, wouldnt they just take the whole caddy? Just thinking :P

[davomrmac]

@PC4Free :) very true.

[NPoonHandler]

Are there any benefits from installing more than one DVD/BluRay drive? Once again superb video Dave :)

[davomrmac]

@NPoonHandler Only for on-the-fly disk-to-disk duplicating.

[WARSinRIOTS]

Hey @devomrmac check my one of my latest vids and look at my PC!

[davomrmac]

@WARSinRIOTS That is a cool setup.

[WARSinRIOTS]

@davomrmac thank ya very much. Got any ideas for speakers i should get?

[davomrmac]

@WARSinRIOTS How much space have you got?

[WARSinRIOTS]

[davomrmac]
