Lukewarm: Best Buy 12x8x32 LG Electronics, $79.99

[jimmypop]

Just like it says, at the Salem, OR Bestbuy (I assume it's a nationwide sale though). $99.99 minus $20 instant rebate. $79.99 out the door for a 12x burner in retail box? Not bad in my opinion. You can be the judge yourselves. And yes, I know there's a cheaper Lite-On from Newegg, but that's OEM. Enjoy!

LG CDRW = bad quality

Lite-on CDRW = awesome drive

it's true that liteon's are becoming better and better (compared to some of their old cdroms, lol)...but don't trash LG, they're improving as well.

Had a 4x4x24x lg for about 2 years...served its purpose well, not bad quality

Use a LG CDRW for 1.5 year, writting is not bad, reading is not as good as other CDROM.

Incorrect.

I've heard pretty good things about LG (Lucky Goldstar). OTOH, I would NOT have either LG or Lite-off. I learned my lesson a long tome ago about bying cheap components.

I have a Goldstar (back before they became LG) vga res monitor, circa 1990. Still works with Linux. My first computer (*sniff*... 386-16, 1 meg ram, 40 meg hdd, 5.25 and3.5 HD drives) was a Goldstar. They're built well. Anyway, my cousin bought one of these, and it's not horrible. I'm happy with my Lite-On, but he likes his LG. It's not that bad of a deal at all.

I'd say the Buslink 12x10x32 for $89.99-20 MIR (also at BB) is a better deal... You have to wait on the MIR, but it's $10 less for a better drive (for those who don't know, Buslinks are rebadged Lite-Ons) with Burnproof.
