WTB: External DVD-Rom drive

Rob · 15-April-05, 12:23 AM

Wanting to buy a working external DVD-Rom drive that has a USB connection, brand name unimportant. DVD-Rom drive at work burned out and now I have nothing to watch movies with and it's horrible. Would contact the IT guys but they would trade it out for an old pre-Pentium POS.

No heatware but I do have great PR Trader feedback.

Drop me a PM if you have one for sale.

Ever thought of making your own, external usb2.0 aluminum case ($20can) and a dvd rom drive($20can)

That pretty darn cheap, and im sure in the states you can get if for cheaper.

35$ish..what are you looking to spend?

Are you looking for an external specifically so you don't have to modify the company computer?

The company computer is a Dell desktop and no, I don't want to modify it. I'd like to get the DVD drive replaced; however, the IT guys will swap it out with a pre-Pentium computer, then hang on to my former desktop, and use that to swap out with the next computer that breaks.
