Well, you can get a TDK 4X DVD+/-RW for 70 bucks. I have never used it, but there drives are what I've used in the past and have proven good. Or a Sony 4x dvd-, 8x dvd+ burner for $130 (a tdk 8x on both +/- for same price). I mean, that is already such a cheap price, I don't know how you can ge one cheaper.
The TDK is a sale at:

I don't know how much longer it will last, but it is a good price. Sony is at the same site.
