I'm interested in advice on what to check before buying, recommended and not recommended brands, etc. Specially, does anybody have experience with the Acer Vuego (6x, ATAPI) drive. It's sold for NLG 190 (appr. $120) at a local store. The next cheapest is a Philips (6x, ATAPI) for NLG 225 ($140). Andras
