I finally bought mine, I noticed in the manual that you can hold the eject button for 5 seconds and the light will blink upon entering "turbo mode" which allows burning cdr's at a higher speed. Just thought I'd throw that in, also you can get the drive relatively cheaply ($46.99) using the method I used: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1041392

Havent used the drive too much, but that black bezel mixed with the silver tray plate looks nice on my dark silver case. ;o)
