    I was wondering if I could add another DVD-rom to my Dell Dimension 4700
    I already have a stock dvd-rom which came with the computer and couple years ago I bought a Dvd-ram drive.Since my friend gave me a free dvd-rom reader I rather connect it rather then collect dust.

    Unless u r certain that ur power supply ( in the pc ) can handle it, just buy a housing for it and make it an external usb driven externally powered burner.
