Request: Dual Layered DVD Burner

Christ I hadn't realized that burner's went for so little nowadays I still remember paying DELL $300 to add one to my PC a few yr's back...

Dual Layer media is still expensive and hard to find. Single Layer DVDs are about 40 cents a disc now.
 
Yeah, forgot to say dual layer is expensive.

As for single layer DVD's, it really depends on where you get them. I got 100 authentic Taiyo Yudens for about 27 cents each.
 
I say buy the NEC, every computer I ever built I have used NEC parts as much as I could. Hell if you want the best Monitors get NEC as well. If I remember right they are a part of Mitsubishi.

They are great products and last forever. I am pissed though I payed 60 bucks for that dual layer burner about 2 months ago from Newegg.
 
Alright I'm a little computer illiterate, if I buy the NEC one will I still be able to rip cds and dvds? I bought a Plextor cd burner awhile back but for some reason I couldn't rip cds on it.
 
Get the NEC 3540a, its the latest version and the best. DVD ripping is much faster, and DL burning is twice as fast. Its only about $43 but they go on sale a lot at places like Newegg. You might as well spend the extra $5 or so over the 3520a.

Ripping CD's has to do with programs, not CD drivers.. pretty sure you can rip any CD with any CD ROM drive.
