[CUBE] CD trapped and not showing up

[Tobias Leung]

You are maxing out your VRM/DC/DC Power supply. Try  taking out the 
radeon 9000 pro card and putting back the rage 128 and you'll probably 
get your dvd drive back.  This is probably the easier way to test out 
this theory of mine.  When you do take it out, remember to push the 
reset button on the motherboard (I forgot the name) Oh, and unplug all 
firewire and usb perphs such as your usb speakers.

Same thing happened to me.
My current situation is an 80GB seagate Barracuda IV, 640 mg RAM, 
RADEON 8500 (230-230) and a PL 1.2 GHZ.  I had to clock down my 8500 
Card to get everything to boot, but i'm sure i'm at the limits of 
pushing my cube.

Let me know if that isolates the problem.
