There are no rails. You do have to remove the front panel though to access the bay. Other than that, there is nothing unusual about the system.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16953789 Fri, 22 Sep 2006 13:59:01 EDT Re: [optical] Replacing Dell Drive http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16953292 huntermcdole : any drive should fit in the dell as long as it has normal drives, and I believe the 4600 is no diffrent. You will have to attach the easy install rails from the old drive to it, but other than that it's a snap]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16953292 Fri, 22 Sep 2006 12:36:53 EDT Re: [optical] Replacing Dell Drive http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16952860 decx : The LG drive dellmanpro posted is an excellent drive. It's also available in black here:

Both that one or the NEC you post are excellent DVD burners. However the LG does just a bit more like reading and writing DVD-RAM discs.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16952860 Fri, 22 Sep 2006 11:12:32 EDT Re: [optical] Replacing Dell Drive http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16952284 owenhome : »www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···27151136]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16952284 Fri, 22 Sep 2006 09:25:53 EDT Re: [optical] Replacing Dell Drive http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16949928 swintec :
