Good Point, I'll look into this. I am really not to excited to go to all of
this just to make CDs. Wife's [non-nerder] thinks it
sounds great, but even with typical gear as
DVD VCD VCR and other typical home electronics, we don't rent, or buy a dozen
DVDs, VCRs in a years time.

Second good point, I'll check this out. I just looked at the front of my on the
floor tower CPU. I see a curved plain panel just
below the place where the OEM CD RW is installed that is about the same size.
I'll check your good point further, tomorrow.
