So, I'm looking to build a new computer, and am curious about these combo drives...I'm particularly looking for a good CDRW drive. I've already decided on getting the NEC-ND3500A as my DVD+/-RW drive, but have read some mixed reviews about it's CD writing ability. So, I thought I would check out the combo drives, as I burn a LOT of CDRs, and will need a second DVD-ROM drive to go along with the NEC. Any suggestions, or is the NEC a good CD writer as well (with up-to-date firmware)? Thanks.
