What will I need to buy with this OEM drive?

Hello,

This is the optical drive that I will be buying: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204

Since it's OEM I'm unsure on what and where to get the parts. I know that I will need to buy a SATA cable right? But what else will I need? And where can I get it?

Thats all you need

sata cables comes with mobo, power cables come from psu. u could buy extra cable at almost every comp shop..

For your OEM drive, you'll want a SATA cable and power cable.

Can't think of anything apart from SATA cable. Power came from the SATA power from PSU, uless you run out and need to use molex.

What about mounting screws? Will I need that or not at all?

You will need screws as well. Sorry, forgot about that. But surely you will have some of those case screw around.

Yes, unless your computer case has a easy install pop-in bracket that uses no screws.

Nope you don't need any screws, it is an easy pop-in install. Good thing your case has it.

There is a review video with the link that you provided. Skip to the time marked at 7 minutes and 20 second. She shows how to install it. Very simple
