    Is it worth it to upgrade your parts when buying Dell?

    the 750 off 1500 was a blanket coupon for all inspiron notebooks at dell home so basically you could pick any one u want and config it anyway you wanted and as long as it cost over 1500 u could apply the 750 off.

    Internal optical drive to 3.5" enclosure

    i know it's not going to....i just want to connect it for short periods of time...i mean i'm assuming the hardware is compatible since it'll connect a hard drive fine. That's why i asked about running into problems such as having the internal drive exposed.

    Internal optical drive to 3.5" enclosure

    wondering if i can use an external 3.5" enclosure just to plug in a dvd burner. i won't be using the burner too much and since the plugs should be fine would i run into any problems by having the internal drive out and exposed or any other complications between the hardware?
