I saw one at Micro Center that I thought was very nicely made.

The door is a PITA when burning CDs with software that opens the CD tray at
the end of the burn.

Ain't it just? I've managed to damage my Sony DVD burner because of
that. It no longer opens or closes without assistance after it collided
with the door during an automatic open. I'm guessing some teeth got
burred off a cog while it tried to push the tray out.

Still, it's an excuse to buy something decent. The damn thing never
would work right with UDMA enabled. Seems to burn at 4x ok in PIO mode
though.


It was definitely Antec and Sonata rings a bell.

Some problems with panels and the door buzzing. I've tried moving fan speeds
around to avoid the resonances, but it looks like I'm going to have to find
some Mortite...

Mine's been pretty quiet (except when the side is off...which is most of
the time at the moment). No buzzing, so I guess they vary in tolerance a
bit.

I guess that the good news is that mine has had no problems living at 80F.

I wouldn't know. It's mid-July and London got 1/2 inch of rain today ...
