Heres the link to the burner I want to get, I've heard very good things about it... and I can't beat the price. Just wanted to make sure that I am getting the right hardware. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if its the real one or a nockoff. Can someone check the link for me? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827152049 Also what dvd's are good to get with these?? I've heard verbatim is good.
I would get the newer model ... and just get the OEM drive. Unless you really need the box and ide cable And yea, Verbatims are a good choice. Newest model is 3540: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827152047
Concur with Flip. I have the 3520 and have been extremely pleased with it. The 3540 has some minor improvements and since the price difference is minimal, I would recommend the newer model. Newegg gives fast service, and good prices. I don't think you will go wrong with your selection of NEC or Newegg.
