To move the topic a little, do you have any problems with the DVD drive in the Ultrabay? Mine played up with every distro I tried, Xubuntu 6.10, FC6, RHEL5b2, and does with OpenSUSE 10.2. Missing interrupts, "the drive is confused..."
Mine's a 2682-48U (Celeron model).
Nope, I've never had any issues that I noticed. I play movies on it with no problem, and never have any issues burning, other than it only burns at 12x, so it's slower than my desktop burner.
Everything else has been really reliable as well. I don't have the original hard drive in it. I replaced it with a 40G Hitachi Travelstar E7K60 7200RPM 8M cache.
The fan died once, and the little rubber things wore out on the built in mouse (whatever you call it). I think they call it the nav panel or something. Mine's still under warranty though, and so the parts were replaced for free.
I actually bought mine off E-Bay almost 2 years ago from an authorized reseller. It was a refurb, but had 2 years warranty left. I then bought an extra year.
