mduell, thanks for all your help so far. I did a search on newegg.com for external enclosures that are 5.25'' and are IDE. Of the 8 remaining Kingwin results, the one you recommend…

The new burner and enclosure are working flawlessly and have solved my burning/reading problems. Thanks for all the help!

Hmmm... Interesting... My +R discs burned in my Apple Pioneer K04 drive worked fine in my Cube (which has a Matsushita SR-8186 DVD-ROM drive). However, my +R discs from my retail …

Can someone tell me if the Macally PHC-500BC enclosure will hold both a 5.25 DVD and a 3.5 hard drive at the same time? The docs I have seen states that it SUPPORTS most 5.25 ATAP…

Hi there...I am about to purchase an iMac G5 and I am going to need a new printer. My needs are fairly simple...I just need a good inkjet/laserjet printer...color...and that is ab…

Most people here -- myself included -- are big fans of Canon inkjets. Search this forum for threads with "printer" in the title: this has been discussed many times. Moreover, wh…

Had great luck with Canon in inkjets. Otherwise, my workhorse GCC laser printer is still going great.

You do not want to print with bluetooth. it is slow as hell. And like everyone else says.... get a canon.

Canon for color inkjet, HP for color laserjet (they're surprisingly cheap).

Do you just need to print to standard paper and smaller? Or do you need to print to larger paper sizes? I personally have a canon i950 and I love it to death. It's been working g…

Pick one: Canon, Epson, or Brother. They're all about the same. If you don't print much, get a low end Canon. If you do photos, Epson, if you want a good MFC, Brother. Yes, I s…

Do not get an Epson! There is no evidence that they've fixed the clogging problems that plague casual users. And i'm not sure why one would go with a Brother -- Canon has some gr…

I agree with tooki's statement about Epson. Clogging is a serious issue with their printers. Personally, I've been using an HP PSC 2610 and am very happy with it.

I just started using a Canon PIXMA MP800 multi-function. I really like it so far. It has a small paper tray in addition to a read "stand-up" feed location and allows for separate…
