WTB: DVD burner (slim)

#1 Post by bigtiger » Sat Aug 05, 2006 9:08 am

I would like to buy a DVD burner to set up an external USB burner. Anybody has anything to offer before I look elsewhere? I heard Brent will get some, can you confirm?

Sorry bro, no DVD multiburners. Those things are HARD to come by and those guys that have em are charging me too much to get one.

Ok. Thank you, Brent. If you do not have one, I guess nobody will. I may have to look somewhere else. Have not bought something like that. I almost forgot where I should look at. 8)

From another list:

THE HARDWARE:
* NEC ND-6750A
3rd generation slim drive, fast and capable. Got mine on eBay for less, but only $66 from Newegg.

* Centrix EX-BLK-01 USB 2.0 External Slim Line Enclosure

Includes two cables: standard USB, plus combo USB/PS2 passthru for
extra power (needed for reliable burning). Matches black ThinkPad
nicely. Great value. Assembly is dead easy. $15

TOTAL COST: $81 plus tax and shipping. Another $5 for a soft black
cosmetics case at Target that fits the enclosure and cables nicely.

That is a great setup. Thanks ADMIN (initially my error: Mod). I will place order when newegg restocks the NEC model. They are currently out of stock.

Sorry, my bad. I didnot differentiate too much between admin and mod yet. A double-think reminds me that there IS difference.
