    Would like to know if there's any specific DVD+/-RW Burners that I would need to search out to put in my Inspiron B120.
    I usually get some stuff on Pricewatch but not sure what I should be looking for.
    Thanks in advance....

    Don't buy sony ones, they won't burn anything after 5 months of using.

    I disagree with buying a laptop specific Internal Optical Disc Drive. With Blu-Ray and Hd-DVD hitting the market rapidly, I think it would be better and cheaper for you to buy a value External DVD Burner.

    Not for what *I* do. I don't need to lug around another box along with my laptop. Blew-Ray and HD-DVD don't even factor into the equation at all.

    Thanks for your input tho.

    Hello again, this is just a concern, you may have a problem with the faceplate of the new drive, because not all drive are equal. But this is easy can be swap from the old drive to the new drive.
