    What DVD writer?

    Ok, im looking at getting a dvd writer.

    I need a good un of course and i need it to be sensibly priced, have a black bezel to match my blackwidow case and if possible come from ebuyer as i think i have a free shipping token- though if the best deal is elsewhere im not fussy.

    This one any good? http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=83151

    Please give me your reccomendations guys

    The NEC 3520, I've got the slightly earlier 3500 and they are solidly reliable, pretty cheap as well

    I like the LG - basically because it does DVD-Ram as well as the other formats. Only got the 12 speed but the 16 is on offer here.

    Pioneer 109. I've not tried the NEC but from what I hear it's a good buy too so you shouldn't be dissapointed getting either of the 2. Google for each model to see if people have had problems with either, see if that'd be an issue for you and then make your choice.
