Dont buy.

Pros: Could make a good smoke machine at a party.

Cons: Apparently there was a short in the drive. Installed it, hit the power switch, heard clicking followed by a burning smell, and the computer shut off. And low-and-behold, the CD drive smelt like burning electrioncs. Thanks BenQ. Depending on what it shorted, I gotta spend anywhere from $20 to a new mobo/ram/cpu/hdd and start again. Thanks a lot.

Other Thoughts: Don't buy it. Spend a $1 more and don't do the same mistake I did.
