Looking for slim CD-RW

[shekondar]

I'm looking for a low-profile CD-RW drive -- I want something the size of a laptop CD drive, but with a normal IDE interface. Newegg doesn't have anything like this (as far as I can tell) -- has anybody seen one of these anywhere??

The store at Mini-ITX has them ... they're UK-centralized though. They may have a link to a NorthAm retailer though.

"Normal IDE" though you don't get. You'll have to buy either a 50-40 or 44-40 convertor depending on the drive. Not to fret, they're only about $3 more.

Where have you seen 50-40 pin converters? I found Toshiba was selling a kit that includes one, PA3022U-1OTR, but it costs $65.00 from Toshiba. It is a neat device though. It fits into a 5.25" bay and allows you to insert a selectbay drive into the adapter and makes it easy to remove by ejecting it without opening the case up.
