Ahhh... I figured it was for your machine and that you had some
witty reason not to upgrade the old drive... ehheehe... ;) Anyways,
if that's the case, IDE might be a cheaper choice unless you require
SCSI, since you can get cheap IDE CDROMS for under $20 and cheap
DVD drives under $35 (pricewatch prices again... and these aren't
caddy-load plextor drives either... but it all depends on what you
need...)
