Lots of inexpensive options from Lite On at newegg.com....

I recently picked up a black face unit which was $22.00 with free shipping. They don't have that specific item and sale option at the moment but there are others that are close.

Well since I got a ASUS A7N8X-E DELUXE I decided to just hook my cab up in a network with my home pc took all of 5 minutes so no real need for the DVD drive at the moment :)

DrewKaree:

Lite-On and Plextor had drives ship with the alternate's labels in the past, meaning some of their drives are manufactured by the other.  Who, specifically, makes what, I don't know, but I've purchased ONE Plextor, and 4 Lite-On's and had no problems with ANY of them. 

Plextors are generally excellent and reliable drives, and I have yet to see a reason to see otherwise about Lite-On drives, AND they are less expensive to boot!

Plextor's are the best out there, but are a bit pricey. I would go with the Lite-On drives, they work well, and actually are the OEM for Dell. Never had a problem with either brand...
