External BD-ROM

For those with multiple PCs, it can become costly to purchase internal BD-ROM's for every PC. I was wondering if there is any decent external BD-ROM that is reliable and performant? Or should I just purchase an internal one and an enclosure? (it'll be very ugly..)

Writing isn't a big deal but if price is reasonable I can consider it as well.
 
i just got an LG one and threw it in an enclosure. its an old habit with dvd writers. i refuse to have them internal anymore

bonus re LG, is that it does hd-dvd as well in case my 360 drive goes 🙂
 
Hmm.. I think that Bytec encloser looks OK, but quite costly for an enclosure. What's the deal with 'Oxford' chipset? I haven't heard of the company but apparently the Egg thinks it's ad-worthy.

Is there any external BD-ROM or BD-RW available from a reputable manufacturer?
 
not sure if it matters for writers, but ages ago it was (iirc) needed for hard drives. i think a lot of the others were limited to drives of 128GB and under
