My current configuration is a Dell Dimension. I have 2 drives currently. The top is a dvd (play only) drive and the bottom is a cdrw drive. Assuming I would change one of them, what would I want to end up with configuration wise? Just how simple is the installation?

Thanks for any help,

External is certainly easy, but if you can turn a screwdriver you can install one. I swapped out my play only DVD in my Dell Dimension with an internal Sony DVD burner and all you have to do is open the case (no tools required -- look in the book that came with it), remove the 2 screws holding the DVD player in place, unplug it, plug in the new one, screw it in place, and reassemble the case. Takes about 10 minutes. It could not be easier.
