hello ppl
nice to be back after a break
Samsung writers r downright CRAP !!
LG writers r GREAT
Sony r great too but they lack decent after sales support when compared with LG
i personally hate Liteon since they make a LOT of noise, it's like starting a small jetengine inside ur PC
as for benq and krypton , it's simply not worth goin in for them cos they dont give u any decent price advantage and dont perform as well as other brand neway
so LG would be a best buy for u
and DO NOT buy combo drives
stick to CD-RW drives and go for a seperate DVD ROM Drives
enjoy
