    My guess would be that its a standard drive maybe with dell designed front facia.
    Dell try make their pc's cheap, non standard parts cost more.
    Open the case when you get time and inspect it

    FWIW I have a 1998 Dell XPS R400 which I imagine is pretty similar.
    I had no problem replacing the CD drive with a standard one I bought in Peats after my then two year old swung out of the original CD caddy like a trapeze.
    Not to be too sarcastic but if you still have the manual AFAIR there was a good section on replacing the CD drive with diagrams etc which if all else fails you could try reading. :o
    Anyway my point is - standard ones fit and its quite easy.
