I'm using one of the LG (Lucky Goldstar) ones, and it's worked fine, and should fit in to your budget. Most CD writers I've come across seem pretty reliable (though ironically I've had a few problems with the Philips ones). As for fitting, they're pretty straight forward. An EIDE would be the one to go for as you can just plug them straight in. How many CD's/Hard disks are you running at present. There should be a spare EIDI slot on your motherboard, but if not, you could chain it from one of your existing slots (2 connections max).
-----Original Message----- From: Daniel Norman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 08 April 2002 13:35 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] CDRW Hi Since i have begun to make a few tunes I like and might want to backup my samples now and again (or send sample CDs to people etc), I looking at buying a CDRW for my PC. I looked at a just getting a separates audio one for tunes, but data backups and MP3 CDs would be equally useful too, so I want a PC one. Are there any makes/models to avoid or are all the new burnproof LG, TEAC, Panasonic etc models fine? How easy are they to fit - are they fairly simple (i have fitted PCI cards so it shouldn't be too much different)? How do I know what connection it needs to be (IDE etc) - not sure about this bit. Thanks for the help, Any other info welcome Dan PS I don't really want to spend more than �65-75 ;-) DISCLAIMER: The Information in this message is confidential and may be legally privileged.
