# woo!
that is great!

technical threadjack!
can any clever b3tans give any anecdotal evidence as to why I shouldn't get a LITE-ON CD writer for £32, rather than a Phillips one for £37?

My friend says he's heard 'bad things' about LITE-ON, but I'm not sure.

# Well
you could buy it and send it back if its crap. Or you could buy a well known name and for a whole five pounds more.

Can you afford a fiver?

# in computer components
lite-on is a well know make..Liteon are now the biggest selling brand of CD Writers in the world

it'll be fine - I've had one for a year now and it rocks.

but get it cheaper - try these people: www.blankdiscshop.co.uk/acatalog/Hardware_Section__.html

# I went through several CD-writers which wouldn't work, or sometimes worked
and eventually bought an LG from Dixons(!) which was great.
