Bubba Bob Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hey Guys,I just purchased a used Dell Optiplex this morning (at the 3rd Saturday sidewalk sale, Thanks PeteC) However, it only came with a CD reader, and a "slim" one for that much. So, i figured it'd be cheaper to just buy an enclosure for my current CD burner instead of buying a slim, CD burner.My question is, what am I looking for in an enclosure? There seems to be a large price range.Recomendations are welcome THanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubba Bob Posted January 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Thanks Joe! That looks like a winner to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
irregularjoe Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Thanks Joe! That looks like a winner to me.Yeah, it should work well.I bought mine at Fry's, paid $50 and at the time thought I got a good deal. But you know how that goes.The company that makes most of these is PPA-USAAs you can see from the link, they also make Usb 2.0/ Firewire enclosures. That's what I got.Good luck with it.Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
