    Im currently looking at getting a new internal dvd rewriter and I know on the internet you can purchase a samsung sh-w162c dvd-/+rw for a measly £30. However do not want to fit it myself. So I recently rang up a private computer store and they say they will supply an sh-w162c, install it and supply a copy of Nero 6 Ultra edition for £50. Is this an alright deal or are they trying to sting me?

    Any views will be appreciated.

    I'm not great on money exchange rates but that sounds like around $88 US dollars installed?

    If the installation is $30 US dollars then that's about the going rate but I would look at other DVD burners as well such as the BenQ1640, (if available,)1650 or 1655.

    Why not install it yourself. A swap out is a piece of cake! Usually takes as long to open the case as it does to swap the drives.

    Even though you stated;
    , I have to agree with StanH1000. It is very easy to do and someone here on aD can help you with it as well through a thread such as this. :)

    Well cheerz for the offer but iv gone ahead and got it installed now. I did attempt to look at the connections inside but seen as though one of my exmates built the pc for me I couldn't find the extra cables already inside to slot into the dvd-rw. (Someone showed me on their pc how to do it but when I opened mine up it looked completely different, all new to this hardware installation as this was the first half attempt i was going to make ............... but failed miserably). :(

    Ne wayz cheers for the offer.
