Hmm dont go for combo!

buy a
DVD drive : rs. 1500 (sony/liteon)
CD writer : rs. 1300
overall = rs. 2800-2900.

Combo will be chaeper by around 15% , and u have two roms, so go for two roms.

Else, if u want to stick with combo, then fine, buy liteon or Benq .

I agree with what drgrudge says. 2 separate drives could be better than combo.

Dude, i mentioned DVD rom not a writer...
So it will only read them.

Writer will cost in excess of rs. 4000.

Presumably, Sony optical drives are manufactured by LiteOn. So for all practical purposes the drives are the same.
