BombaTwist Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Anyone Know a site that sells cheap (at least under 150 bucks) External cd or dvd-r/rw Drives. My Uncle told me i should buy a NEC DVD-R/RW Drive from newegg.com because thats where he got his NEC DVD Drive. and he said he got it for 90 bucks. but i cant seem to find the item. anyone knows any sites with great deals on External CD/and ,or DVD Writers that are similiar to the NEC or better. Or just find the NEC one that cost 90 bucks link would be fine ^^Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fillalph Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I would recommend buying an external firewire enclousure. This way you can mount harddrives, cdrws, dvd burners in there. Here is an example. http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc....-146-153&depa=0]Bonkers[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XtremeMaC Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 its just an enclosure so think of it as a cable which connects your cdrom-dvdrom-dvdwriter etc to your computer so it will write dvd cd whatever u put it in. though I strongly suggest the lite on external drive...otherwise $60 for the enclosuremin $90 for the dvd writer. thats $150 and the lite on is max $126. but 1 advantage of the enclosure, u can put other things in it. u can put hdd u can put cd rom, anything that works with ide cable.... ow of u care about the looks go with lite on. also there are many other enclosures. I bought mine from caloptic (then realized they were the most expensive enclosure, though when I bought it, there were not so many enclosures that supported usb2/firewire..)
