Well I've not needed one till my Dell home computer gave up the ghost after 7 years of use. So I broke down and got the new DirecTV Plus HD DVR and installed it. I also picked up a http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6096313&Sku=S130-7114 which was on sale for $89.99 till yesterday. It has a place to use these drives on the back which make is possible to burn to a DVD later.
I went Lenovo computer for both the home and office instead of Dell this time. I went with a mini tower in the office and a 15.6" lap top for my personal machine. The office has the Intel Dual Core i7 chip @ 3.20 ghz with 8 gig of ram while the lap top is an i5 chip @ 2.8 ghz and 6 gig of ram. The desktop has 1TB hard drive while the laptop has 500 gig. Both have dual layer DVD RW drives with HD monitors and video cards. I spent just a bit over $1500 for both machines. Laptop came from Tiger Direct and the Desktop came from Quille who we buy all our office needs from. Oh and the office machine isn't listed on the Lenovo site as of yet as it was just released last week.
