Optical Drive for a Perfectionist...What a wise investment?

[architecture1]

Anybody know what the #1 optical drive is for somebody who's not budget conscious?

I just want the coolest high end drive that has great quality and will do my laundry for me.... okay, maybe just the dishes... I'm building my first system and I would like to do it without immediate regrets.

Buy a Plextor. Hands-down the best Optical Drive company out there.
Here's some links: SATA DVD-RW
or if you really have money burning a hole in your pocket- Blu-Ray Burner

Best of Luck

Yep Plextor is one fine company but it is not worth the extra $. Save yourself a $100 and invest it somewhere else like cpu, vc, ram, mobo.

Hey if you got the cash go for it. Plextor is Plextor no disagreement there.
