I am in the process of buying a quiet HDD and a quiet PSU, and a quiet case fan, so I thought that I might as well replace my CD-ROM that sounds like a "pull-n-go" toy with something a little, well . . . quieter.
I currently have a Samsung 3235 somethin' or other. Aside from being loud, it also eats discs. I have had three (fortunately CD-Rs) scratched all to hell when I pressed the eject button before the CD had finished spinning down.
So, add this requirement to the criteria: low disc-eating eject mode.
One other thing . . . I am looking in the "not too terribly expensive" range, say < $75.
Thanks!
