Default DVD-RW Drive for Dimension 9100? (Sony is too big!)

Hi,

I just tried fitting a Sony OEM DVD Writer into my Dimension 9100, but after
I had I couldn't fit the Dimension's front fascia back on. The drive is
slightly too big for the fascia.

Can anybody tell me which the correct DVD-RW drive is for the Dimension
9100?

Shouldn't all drives fit? Surely they're industry standard sized?

Thanks.

Try again. I have a Sony in mine and it fits fine.
