www.svp.com were doin a dvd burner for £24. i remember payin £80 for my first one, and £60 for the second one.
What i would recommend, and it is a personal opinion, is a Pioneer (any type), and the Ritek dye discs. I have yet to have a failure on a burn with the exception of those that i messed up to start with (wrong program to create an iso etc.)
