Depends on which country you are in, I am in the UK and go shopping at the following: http://www.overclockers.co.uk http://www.blankdiscshop.co.uk http://www.ebuyer.com And would recommend a Pioneer or possibly Sony
Everything I buy that's PC related comes from here: http://www.newegg.com/index.asp?DEPA=1 Keep in mind that the cheapest burners aren't always the best investment. Pioneer is great and Lite-On makes some good drives that are pretty easy on the wallet. _X_X_X_X_X_[small] JMLS-166S/Plextor PX-708A/Plextor Premium[/small]
I like www.bottomdollar.com- they give you a choice of about 10-20 different stores and they rate the stores. I will say newegg seems to be in the top 5 everytime.
ummm I didnt think about this site that I know about until after I posted it. incase anybody wants the site its www.tigerdirect.com and you can get one there for 40 dollars. but that site pretty much sells everything cheaper than anybody else
ummm im not really sure. I saw that BenQ makes it. im not realy sure if its that good. but I figure its okay. its something atlest
im not sure if this is the same thing but here is the item #: B145-2040 and if this helps by some weird chance heres the speeds 4x4x12x DVD+RW / 16x10x32x CD-RW
Nephilim makes a good point, better to spend 100 than 40 if you're buying crap. I think the Lite On SOHW-812S, which is a dual burner goes for around 70.00, that's a good price for a decent drive. Spend the extra 30.00 or you may end up buying an expensive paperweight. You can get the PX 708A for around 140.00 with a 30.00 rebate leaving a cost of 110.00. Like flip says you can get deals on slightly used ones(for reviews and such) on ebay. Be careful when buying on ebay, write the seller and ask questions before you bid, and look it up on the net to see what it's true value is. I myself just bought a new Plextor burner and I listened to the guys on this forum(what's a good DVD burner to buy) before i bought. They know what they're talking about.
