Hello all, I own a Dell Dimension 8300 computer purchased in September 2003. I am in the market to purchase a Dual Layer DVD burner. Can anyone recommend a brand that will easily install in my 8300? Does anyone own a dual layer burner that is installed in their Dimension 8300 and if so which brand and model? What should I avoid? Thanks in advance

I got a plextor 708A in my Dell 8200. It works flawlessly, but it isn't dual layer. Plextor makes some of the best dvd burners. Go with the plextor 716.

It doesn't matter ... any standard 5.25" drive will fit.
I would also say go with the Plextor 716.

Rebates suck I have been waiting 3+ months for my rebate from Plextor for a PX-712A.I always look for the best selling price instead of rebates.I do most of my buisness with Newegg,quick and DEPENDABLE! Plextor makes great drives.

jonjakjam,
Well as first glance you save an extra $20. But the cheapest shipping is $9.98 for ground (usually 5-7 business days).
Shipping through newegg is $5 and I ordered it Sunday 19th, and it should be here tomorrow or Wednesday.
So is $15 worth waiting a few extra days? And I don't know if they charge tax .. and at least for me I don't get charged tax when shopping at newegg.

I did not see any software listed as coming with that plextor from newegg. Did anyone see if it did, or is that an extra cost?
thanks

If you view the images, it's actually comes in the retail box.

So I would have to say newegg is probably the best place to get this burner. =P

Yea, arrived Wednesday. I've been busy (last minute shopping). Hoping to find time this weekend to install it.
