CDrom tray won't stay open

I agree with Rusty. I would try to upgrade to the newest firmware version and try it for a while. If it continues, then I would junk it for a new one. I had one that did the same thing a while back, and I finally got sick of it, and bought a new one:)

Recommended Titles for Strategy Noob?

Thought I would let everyone know what I ended up with. I went to a local EB, and searched through the bargain bin/shelves. I picked up Might and Magic II Gold, Warlords Battlecry, Command and Conquer Red Alert w/Aftermath expansion, and Warcraft II w/Expansion pack. Each title was $7 to $10...

What is the most quiet DVD-Rom drive I can find?

I have used a Pioneer and a Lite-On, and they are both quite loud when spinning up. I have a Sony 16X, and it is the quietest drive that I have ever worked with. It is silky smooth, and I have not had any problems reading disks at all. I would definitely pick up a Sony drive.

What is a good $200 or around DVD player for my telivision?

With your current television, you would not be able to use progressive scan yet. Progressive scan can only be used with a HDTV ready set. There are plenty of good interlaced players out there for you though. Go here and read the reviews in their DVD player section. I would highly recommend...

Need help choosing a DVD drive.

Basically, you cannot go wrong with Toshiba, Pioneer, Lite-On, or Sony. I have not worked with the Toshiba yet. I like the Pioneer and the Lite-On drives, but they were a little loud for me. I have the Sony in my rig, and the drive is silky smooth and very quiet.

Did anyone ever get their Kenwood Demo DVD?

When I originally signed up, I got an e-mail from Kenwood to sign up again because something went wrong. So, I signed up again, but I have not heard anything more. Has anyone heard anything?

Which DVD-rom is Quieter?

I just picked up a Sony 16X this past weekend at a computer show. It is very quiet. I am extremely happy with it. Only paid $67 for it, too:)

First Post!! Why Did Black Isle Axe Torn?

Hey all! From what I gathered, they were very close to having it completed, and now it has been cancelled?! I was really looking forward to a new, original role-playing world/story.
