[Cube] Replacement drive

[Lacy Kyle]

Hi folks,

Hope you all had a wonderful christmas. I have decided to loan my  
standard cube to my father-in-law as it gets very little use  
now......can't quite bring myself to let go of it altogether though  
because I just love it so much. Anyways, my FIL has bought himself a  
digital camera for christmas and the old Performa 5200 I gave him  
years ago no longer cuts the mustard. The only problem with the cube  
is the usual drive ejecting (or non-ejecting!) fault. I have always  
got on by keeping a small pair of tweezers handy to 'help' the disc  
out but, as I am now lending iy out I would like to replace it. I  
would like to keep the cost as low as possible and, although the cube  
currently has the CRrom/DVDrom drive fitted, would probably prefer to  
change it for a CD ROM/RW drive.

As I say, I would like to keep the cost as low as possible and would  
prefer a drive that is not as likely to suffer the same problem in  
the future.

What are your recommendations?

Thanks in advance
