Posted Hide Post If you don't already have one, you can buy a Sony DVD-ROM drive (with software) for $43CAN at TigerDirect. Just make sure you have a free drive bay in your computer's case. If you don't have a free drive bay or you have a laptop, TigerDirect is offering a Benq External DVD-ROM drive that connects to a USB port (it can also connect to a TV). The cost is $176CAN. I put the prices in Canadian since your location says you're in Alberta. Just trying to save you the stress of converting currency.

ivnj Diamond Enthusiast	Posted Hide Post No need JW. I just went HERE and baught a USB external 3.5 or 5.25 drive enclosure for $42. so $42+$43=$85 instead of $176. Easy to setup. Just slip in internal DVD and attach cables already built-in. Then snap and screw it together. ivnj
