Hey im about to go out and buy a new burner to replace my old one, its a creative 6424 (6x4x24) I dont want to order one off the net because im impatient when waiting for new toys to arrive and the stores around here charge a lot for name brands like yamaha, or sony, or creative, I noticed that there is a Hi-Val 48x16x48x on sale for 49.99 and think thats a great deal. Ive bought Hi-Val CD-Rom drives before and have had no problem other than them being noisey. I dont want to go buy a burner and have it make more coasters than CD's, anyone else buy a Hi-Val CDRW drive, or have any warning or suggestions, the most im willing to spend is around 80 bucks and the lowest burn speed ill settle for is 40 :-p
