Title: Why go external?
Product review: I don't see any reason to use external CD burners as apposed to internals. A few things to consider:1. Externals cost significantly more than internals.2. Externals are most often larger and heavier than internal (with a few exceptions) making them actually less portable.3. With externals, you need to carry wires around. Internals use standardized wires. Every computer has an IDE cable and a power cable from the power supply. Try asking your friends if they have a spare FireWire cable and AC adapter with the right voltage to hook up your CD-Burner with.4. Externals often require drive-specific windows drivers. With internals, windows uses it's standard IDE CD-ROM drives and recognizes the drive on boot-up. all you need to install is CD-Burning software.
