What price range?

Snikers, You know Tim, we had this talk once before. the Square Disk that are about 3.25 inches don't go in there...

Seriously, I'm wondering about the power supply possibly , I know Capt. Mike had sent you one, But It might Explain this new development. If not that, Maybe a new IDE cable. But there's no reason why you should be Going out with those ROMS as fast as you do.

Maybe he needs to pedal faster to generate more power, ala Soylent Green?

That NEC I posted is $49.00 with free shipping and handling from NewEgg.   Found a couple cheaper, but I've heard some things about Liteon and a couple of other brands.  Paranoid.  Just order based on price and reputation.
