Thanks for the AWESOME video. I just have one question: does anyone know how much a new CD/DVD drive usually costs? I need to replace mine ASAP. Thanks again!

I don't have all those green locks inside my computer. I don't have them at all and it's hard to pull the wire cords out of the back of it. :(

@FAVIdeoRecords Its a duct for guidance of the hot air being exhausted by the processor fan (Or cold air being drawn in by the CPU fan - depending which way you do it), which increases efficiency and effectiveness of the cooling system, preventing re-circulation of hot air the case.
