Hmmmm... I wonder... Is it difficult to replace the optical drive on a Dell? I may buy this...

Hmmmm... I wonder... Is it difficult to replace the optical drive on a Dell? I may buy this...It was easy to replace the cd rom on my old Dell Inspiron 4000. I just slid the drive out and took some small screws out so i could take the outer case off the original drive and put it on the new drive.
