asubaseball727 Posted December 27, 2005 CID Share Posted December 27, 2005 Hey to all, I was interested in picking up a DVD burner ( I know how to burn, just read the whole DVD burning post ). Does anyone have suggestions on models? Also, do you reccomend internal or external? If the set up is really difficult could you give a brief explanation on how to set it up? Thanks for all help!

asubaseball727 Posted December 27, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 27, 2005 How bout this one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827135043 Also, one of my friends wanted to install one onto his laptop, I was going to reccomend this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827998212 because it the only alternative to the NEC one. I heard that installation is a little harder.... Suggestions??? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
