I just purchased a Ricoh SCSI burner from Onsale for $73.  Lots of posts on
Dejanews recommend Plextor and Ricoh.  We have an IDE burner at work, and given
my experience with that I would strongly urge anyone to get a SCSI burner, or
any other activity on the box risks trashing the CD during the burn.
