Dell laptops are easy to change the drive in,
i use a nec 6650a dvdrw works great with hoster and MS.
you can get a dell inspiron 8200 on ebay for about $350.00 .
i have been using dell 8100 p3 1gigh for yrs and never had a problem, the work great with hoster and for doing shows.
i just started buying dell inspiron 8200s because they are p4 and up to 2.6 gigh prossers and will handle up to 1 gig of ddr ram.
these laptops will run with the best of them.
also have a modular bay in front for extra hard drive or dvd burner or floppy.
you can change with the touch of a button. Bob
