[CUBE] DVR-105 $149 at Staples.com

[Hal]

Actually, couldn't you use power off the external box you put the 
burner in and only run the IDE cable through? Also, anyone try using an 
IDE ribbon, so that you can still use the internal DVD in the Cube? Do 
you have to set the burner to slave then?

cheers,
-Hal
