I\'m interested in buying a cd burner for a school, music, and other what not. They have one at Fred Meyers (local department store) for 69.99 (or 49.99 with mail-in rebate) its: I/O Magic 32x CD-writer, its also internal I do belive. Is that a good deal?
Also, if it is internal, it goes inside of the computer, in a bay. I dont think I have an extra one, since I have a cd-rom/dvd, and a floppy disk one. How can I tell, I dont want to buy it and end up not knowing, Please help, I was gonna buy it today.

external ones are more expensive cause thier have a shell
DO NOT get an I/O magic burner
u can get a great lite-on 40x/12x/32x CDRW burner for the same price

no sales tax if you buy outside your state. I like Mitsumi and HP burners. Never had a Lite-On but heard good things.

Well you see, i am returning something, and you can only get instore credit, so basically its free, what is wrong with I/O Magic?
also: what do you mean by "oh, and that drive will umm,*cough* copy everything"?

There are just some brand of electronics you don\'t buy like RCA tv\'s or Compaq\'s...it\'s a qualitly thing.
