DVD-Rom

[Sappster]

Hey Yall, I hope this isn't a repost or something dumb like that. But I'm looking into getting a DVD-Rom here soon. I have Divix on my computer and so I don't really need one to read my movies. But I do need one in order to add more movies to my collection. I can't afford a DVD-Burner cause those are like $300+!! If I could find a good Burner for around $100 then I might consider. But I'm looking for a descent DVD-Rom for under $50 if I can. Let me know of some good brands that I can look for. Thanks.

Toshiba or Pioneer

lite-on

lite-on has great DAE (digital audio extraction) and also around 10x ripping speed for dvds. can't beat it.

Mwave has the Pioneer for $39.00

*Edit*

Out of stock on the tray loaded version..
The slot loaded version is $48, which is in stock

so Toshiba, Pioneer, and Lite-on are tops as far as DVD-ROM drives go? What about Sony? Teac? are they any good?

Do you guys like the slot-loading Pioneer better than traditional tray-loading drives?

Sure I like it cause I can mount it above my other Optical tray device with no worries of it getting in the way ...

One of the two is better just in case your CD breaks and shatters, but I'm not sure which one. I think it is the tray loading version.
