I just bought a Yamaha CRW3200EZ (24x10x40) Internal CD Burner last
nite.  I got home and had no problems installing it and it fired up on
the first try.  Comes with Nero Burning Rom software which is new to
me but love it.  I was able to burn a 3 inch Mini CD which holds about
185mb of info and works like a charm.

I would recommend trying this out...got for $179.99 at Best Buy with
$30 rebate.  I read a lot of reviews on this model before making the
purchase and talked to a few people about it...
