im currently using a Liteon 40125S that ive modded to a 48125W without any issues whatsoever.

i used to have a matshita cdrw in my old gateway........i could never tell that thing was burning a cd.....it was dead silent

I have TWO lite-on 52x's still trying to sell one (the new one)- now for 40 dollars. I wish someone was on here selling one for 40 bucks when I bought mine for 62 dollars- Sheesh- You can't give these things away.

if i didnt have a 48x lite-on already in this PC i would take you up on the offer....put it up on half.com and see if you can move it there

IF i wasn't wrong side of a rather large ocean..I would snatch your hand off

You could take them to a local computer store, and sell them ... Or put them up on ebay , I was looking at ebay before I ordered the one I have now... and they were going for 100 dollars US after shipping... pretty insane... people seem to get caught up in the whole bidding thing. They almost always end up spending more.

The 52X Lite-ON is not silent, but it also is not nearly as loud as I was expecting.

Just a high pitched purr.... but the good thing is.... you wont be hearing it for long... LOL 2:39 to complete a full CD

Not too bad at all!
