I'm looking for opinions on Optical drives.

Greetings,

I'm looking for some input on brands and models of optical drives. I'd prefer a DVD/CD burner, and lightscribe would be cool but not necessary, double layer too....

Thanks for the input!

Lee

Liteon, you can get a dual layer dvd burner with lightscribe for about $40-$50 and they come with PowerDVD and Nero burning software.
Other decent brands: Plextor, BenQ.
Brand to avoid: Sony.
