    Hi,

    I was thinking of going for the NEC 3520A 16x DVD+/-R writer from www.svp.co.uk

    Anyone know what leads I might need to hook it up to my Dell PC?

    Thanks
    M

    You might not need any cables at all.
    Open up the dell and check if there's a second connector on the ide cable going to your cd-dvd drive.
    If there isnt then you'll have to replace that with one like this
