Do any of you guys have external CD recorders with you PC's and which ones do you guys recommend? I plan on purchasing one soon but don't know if there is something in particular that I should look out for like speed and anything else. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

External CDRW

Don't do it if you don't have to...they are more trouble than they are worth. I had a Backpack (8x4x40 I think). OK if you are usng 20 different computers but I'd stick with th internal models if I were you. JMO

I'll see if Gateway has one for my laptop.

i'm guessing that you din't have scsi or 1394(firewire) on there....probably get a usb...or better yet, both usb and 1394
check out lacie....very choice.

One more thing...

If you are running NT, there are unique allowances to be made in the setup...

I don't recommend them, they cost a lot more for less speed. Like someone said, don't do it unless you have to. They're almost always USB based nowadays.

So basically i'm better off getting a internal CD recorder for my Gateway Laptop. I hope they make it for the laptop series that I have.
