But to make a long story short, I'm possibly in the market for a new CD/DVD-ROM.
I would go with CD-ROM because I don't really need a DVD-ROM, I have a standalone player, but for the price these days it can't be too terrible.
I'm wondering if anyone can suggest me some good DVD-ROMs and even CD-ROMs, reasonably priced, that would be good for me? I will mostly be using it to install apps + games, playing games, creating cd images, and possibly some DAE - and a nice bonus (but not necessarily needed) would be being able to read protected cds.
The only good recent deal I've seen around me, being in Canada, is the LG DRD-8160B dvd-rom. I know its not the best for DAE, but otherwise seems solid. In US dollars, it's priced at about $65 US, and after mail-in rebate would be about $47 ($73 CDN, pretty decent for our prices). If anyone has any info on other good cd and dvd-roms, and/or knows any good deals for drives in either US or Canada, please feel free to post!
Sorry for the really long post, guess I had more to write than I thought.
