Just purchased my 8400 system and it should arrive in the next week.
I didn't get a DVD burner because I want to add an "after market" +-
drive. A couple months ago I saw that everyone was recommending the
NEC 2500A drive. I noticed today though that there are some new NEC's
available include some dual-format ones for a few dollars more.

Three questions....
(1) Can anyone confirm if the 8400 is shipping with the 2100A NEC
DVD-Rom drive or is it something else now?
(2) Do you still recommend the NEC 2500A or something else? I want a
drive that looks seamless (like it was installed with the system), but
that also will perform well.
(3) Any tips on installing the drive for those who have done this sort
of thing before?
