Here's a really good deal from newegg.com only $18.99 plus shipping

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827131416 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827131416)

I have purchased one of these LiteOn DVD-Rom drives and I have purchased one LiteOn DVD-RW drive.  I have never had a problem with either of the drives and I had to pay at least 30 bucks for DVD-Rom drive and at least 40 bucks for the DVD-RW drive.

Both my drives in my main machine are lite-on.. my Single layer and dual layer dvd burners.. both 50 bucks or less, and are solid as hell :)

IN fact, ill never buy another brand.. Lite-on or die i say..

Unless I ever want to give LightScribe a try, Lite-On all the way

Lightscribe looks good but it's damn slow and the media is much more expensive than regular CD/DVDs
