RangerG Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Hello -- I would like to get an external CD burner for my computer (no room for an internal with that becoming obselete zip drive). I know - I'm living in the Dark Ages and don't have one :-). I would like one as inexpensive as possible, but reliable. Anybody order any online from somewhere they trust or have a low-cost, but acceptable brand. Anyone have a used one they would sell (I'd much prefer an AA member to Ebay). Should I just go to BestBuy and pick one up! Thanks for any advice, RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 What is low cost and how fast does it have to be ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Do any of the DVD-R/W work as CD-R/W? I haven't looked but yuo might want to consider both the way prices are dropping nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaineMaxwell Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Get one by Sony or Plextor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerG Posted January 26, 2004 Author Share Posted January 26, 2004 CPUWIZ -- I really don't want it too slow because the computer in my room has the Internet connection, but my wife and I would both use it for burning, downloading, etc. Thanks for the ideas!

vb_master Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 get a LITE-ON-LTR-40125S by Cendyne. That thing never fails. You can burn anything onto a normal CD-R(W) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 get a LITE-ON-LTR-40125S by Cendyne. Does Cendyne even exist anymore? I thought they went under last year (which is too bad really, I dug their stuff) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vb_master Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I just saw one of their burners in the paper. I donno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I ended up getting a Sony one from Best Buy last year. After rebates the thing cost me like $30... It's a 48/24/48 and it has yet to create a coaster and likes practically every brand of CDR (unlike my old Creative Labs 8/4/32 drive which hated many brands of CDR and made a coaster every other disc...)
