Yeah, but he probably doesn't have room in his case.  At any rate, you can probably get an external Firewire case and dremmel out the front if you're that desperate.

Haha, I'm actually buying something similar to that tommorow.

I'm however buying it from http://www.microstore.se/VisaProdukt.asp?ProduktID=2056&GruppID=89 since I'm in Sweden and NewEgg don't ship over here.

Given the fact it's a DVD burner, you might as well pull out at least 1 drive, if not all the other drives you have. For example, if you had a CD-RW drive and a DVD-ROM drive and bought a DVD-RW drive, why bother keeping the CD-RW drive?

Well, in the case of my having a DVD±RW, CD-RW, and DVD-ROM, I just swapped the CD burner out for the DVD writer.  I'd use the burner for (obviously) burning stuff onto disc, but generic disk reading and movie playing I'd use the ROM to avoid drive wear on the burner.

I've actually got a CDR/CDRW/DVD+-R/DVD+-RW writer but only used the DVD burning feature 'cause it's pretty slow. So I don't really get what everyone's excited about...or is it because you can (insert-euphemism-for-burning-movies-from-Kazaa-here)?

Edit: It burns DVDs at 4x, IIRC.

So you can install FS2 without swapping disks? :lol:

I have that drive. Got it locally for around $130 (incl. 17% tax). Haven't burned anything with it yet, tho. :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
