Good optical drive

[K0ldFuz1on]

I was about to build a new rig, and I was just wondering what a good optical drive is for about $60 - $80.

You can probably get a dam good LITEON DVD+RW for that price
at Newegg/ Zipzoomfly/ or somewhere online. I got my LDW-411s
for about $90 like two years ago.

A couple that come to mind are

NEC 3540
Benq 1640

either should be on the low end of your spectrum or less.
