Do they still make scsi burners that cost less then a complete new PC ??
I myself have a nec nd1100a, which was 200 euro's a few months ago. Now
you can get it for even less, the 1300's seem to be selling for 150
euro's now.
I put it in a firewire cabinet, but that shouln't matter, USB2 would do
fine also. Just get an IDE burner (and optionally, build it in an
external enclosure).
Linux supports all IDE DVD+RW and DVD-RW writers. I prefer the +RW
standard, and writing to it under linux is quite easy (with dvd+rw-tools
/ growisofs).
Very handy for backups / data-storage
