I'm trying to install OpenSuse in an old pc. It has CD, but no DVD. OpenSuse is on DVD.
If I want to stuff a DVD inside it, will any of the low cost ones on Ebay work OK?
Anything I need to watch out for?

I've only used e-Bay a couple of times, but I would try to look at the sellers reputation rating.
Actually, what I would do is look for a decent one off of Newegg. There are some pretty good deals on there for DVD drives.
Given the low price of decent DVD recorders these days, why mess with eBay? Major brands go from $25-50 USD with free shipping from Buy.com, as an example.
I would buy a blank CD from my local market before I visited eBay!
Just to throw out there, you can download an installable OpenSuse CD, not just DVD.
