Best DVD-Rom drive

[MYstIC G]

ok guys time to flex your impressive knowledge base and tell me which DVD-Rom is the best buy at the moment? Since it seems my old one is now totally knackered which is well annoying since I picked up the Sopranos DVD boxset the day before it died

ta in advance

I read good stuff about the Pioneer 16 speed.

You can get it from PCWorld for £55 (OEM)

or Scan

That is indeed not a bad looking drive & seeing as its cheap as well as powerful thats definatly gonna have me thinking about parting with my cold hard cash

 

[MYstIC G]

decided to look locally to see if I could pick one up on the cheap, PC World Croydon "don't do any" & a local PC store wanted to charge me £100 for the drive
