CD Rom drive not working

[bmxfreakrider]

haha, yea you can, but u can build a better one for cheaper if u buy the parts indivudaly. but since hes not a pc freak, yea a walmart pc should work just fine for him. usually walmarts got emachines and hp's(sometimes compaqs), and out of those, id probably get the hp.
