Buying an IDE burner- for the iMac?

Posted by Cliff on from the iBurner dept.

danboid asks: "I'm going to buy an 'internal' IDE burner for my iMac (revision A- I have to open it up and lead an IDE cable out and buy a power supply for it though!) so I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations or could tell me what to look out for or avoid. I will probably be burning under Linux but I'd like to get a burning program for Mac OS X- has anybody had any experience with such a setup?"

    And what is wrong with a Firewire burner? Or an external burner? After all, isn't that the draw of an iMac? Basics in a convenient case, with lots of plugs to connect external devices. Old iMac, or new? Old iMac might require that you use USB instead of Firewire if you are to go the external route.

    Some more information would be helpful as to the choice of path you are planning to take. If it is just for a 'l33t case mod' then I think you are on your own.
