I like it, the HPs are decent & probally the best external drive you can get but for internal, i'd go with the plexwritern ...------------------ Put some pep in your step Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripinchick Posted September 13 Author Report Share Posted September 13 Thanx guys, how much do these things run?------------------** Shake It Baby **~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Tchick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrlin Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 Hp's are definately a good choice. Mixde in with the newest version of the software, it very easy to use and very fast. I would suggest skimming through www.pricewatch.com to get an indication of how much they run depending on where you buy it. Once you have a ballpark, there are a few other sites actually that are pretty good, I dont have them with me at the moment.------------------Myrlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultracrzy Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 I think the laptops CDRW are more expensive than regular desktop ones.I got an old Phillips CDRW 4X4X32 for $200but you can get an 8x write for the same price now------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkFloyd40 Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 i have a hp 9110 and it was about 3 when i got it. its an 8x speed and w/ my P3 at 600mhz i can burn a cd in less then or around 10 minutes. it also came w/ acid music, which is really for music generation, but i use it to break up live sets that i have into different tracks.-Rob------------------"And thus they give the time, that Nature meantFor peaceful sleep and meditative snores,To ceaseless din and mindless merrimentAnd waste of shoes and floors."

namastasyai Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 I use a "Que!" CD-R drive, it writes at 12x which is lovely but you must have an IEEE-1394 (Firewire) port to use this one. Anyway, I love it! $350.------------------"There is no beginning and no end, only the infinite passion of life." -Federico Fellini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artful Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 Hmmm burner for a laptop?I don't think that's a good idea.. you'd prolly be better off putting it in a PC...The reason is speed... if it's external it's gonna take longer to burn.. Unless you could get ahold of a SCSI external one.. hmmm...PlexWriter 12/10/32A CD-RW is supposed to be like the hottest shit and it runs for about $300.00........I don't know if it's external or internal right now though... That would be the most you would pay for a burner.------------------ <I'm a Fire-starter> --- When the Artful speaksHAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

artful Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 Amacom makes a laptop baby CD-RW that's 4x4x20 w/PCMCIA for $359.99... it's slim as hell.. you might want to look into that one as well...Fuck... when are they gonna make a CD RW that doubles as a DVD already? Dammit!!There's a portable CD-RW 4x4x24 by Kanguru... it's $319.99.... and you can get a PCMCIA cable for it for like another $50.00.. it comes with a USB though... if you wanted to just use a USB port for it...This one looks like a CD walkman.------------------ <I'm a Fire-starter> --- When the Artful speaksHAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
