dvd burner
 
Just wondering if anyone knew of any cheap places to pick up a dvd burner? new or used... as long as it works. The cheapest I have found so far is $119 at www.memoryexpress.com

thanks.

Here's 1 for $99.98. Can I can't believe how cheap DVD writers have become. But the shipping cost might negate the savings unless you are in Vancouver.

I don't know anything about the Liteon brand. I have the 4X LG 4040 and its awesome. The 8X LG one can be found for about $129 in some places. If its anything like the 4X model, it should be pretty good too.

You'll find everything you need to know there. Hardware reviews, software recommendations and guides to teach you how to burn pretty much everything. I have a Liteon 411s, burns pretty much everything from my experience so far. Liteon's a highly recommended brand amongs ppl who like to make "backups".

Oh, OK.

$108 http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...=LDW-411S/451S

LG 4081B also does DVD-RAM in addition to DVD -R/W +R/W and its 8X instead of 4X for the LiteOn above. Man, I paid the same price for the slower 4X 4040 model only a few months ago. These below might not come with software though.

Cheap is not always the best. I am getting a Plextor DVD burner in a short while (unless something else comes my way that I need/want more :) )
