Advantages: value for money, works well, good for backups Disadvantages: Not the fastest on the block
There are some very fast CD burners on the market although they're mainly being overtaken by DVD burners which aren't much more expensive these days. The LGGCE-8160B is a couple of years old now and used to sell at PC World for £69 but can be picked up cheaply on eBay these days.
The box contains the bare drive which sports 16x CD-R writing, 10x CD-RW writing and 40x reading as well as all the usual IDE cables, screws and sound card leads. The supplied software is Roxio CD Creator version 5 which is the latest version although not the full 'Platinum' style. You can still burn almost any type of CD although some of the more esoteric features such as vinyl restoration, and Video-CD creation are missing. You can of course use 3rd party software or upgrade to the full version of CD Creator 5 Platinum. A bonus is a good pair of manuals ...

LG LH3000
Intro
I got this TV for my birthday for my room, it was £400 from argos which i thought was a bargin, and so it was. 1080p, 32", 80,000 to one sound contrast, 50hz, freeview, brillaint look and an energy saving button. i got this tv mainly to play on my ps3, i heard that 1080p and game consoles just made it so much more than a game, and it does, the size is the perfect the picture is wicked, but lets get into detail
Design
The LG3000 is glossy black just like a ps3 with invisible sound speakers. this makes the TV look as good as it can, sometimes if you put holes in a TV it either looks ugle or dust gets in it etc etc but this just gets ride of that problem and gets a better result (ill explane later) it comes with a stand easy to install and a plastic cover for when putting on a wall (cant see it just ...

Advantages: Superb picture and sound Disadvantages: Can't think of any
, budget of no more than £400, HD ready, and a good reputation. Above all, it needed a good picture quality. Wandering round the usual places we saw a few sets that met this criteria but we were not necessarily bowled over by them. Then we walked into our local Comet and, amongst the others, we saw the LG 32LH3000 on offer for £399.99.
We had a good look at it in the shop and it met/exceeded all our criteria, plus one more we hadn't thought of... it looked pretty good, too! The salesman also told us that it hadn't long been on the market and that it should be £550, not £400! He said it was a steal at this price. His words were duly taken with a large pinch of salt, and we headed home to check it out properly. The few reviews we found online said the same thing... it was extremely good, so much so that one reviewer put it up against his friend ...

The GCE-8480B takes its place in the line-up of high-speed CD-RW drives from LG. The 48x16x48x package has a 2MB buffer with SuperLink for buffer underrun error protection, and is Mt. Rainier compliant for True Drag and Drop file copying, MPC-III compliant, and Windows XP/2000/ME/98/3.1/NT compatible. This is one fast drive.
