So when I sent my Gateway FX-6800 to be "fixed" by gateway techs (twice), it comes back the second time with a replaced optical drive. Turns out the drive they gave us only runs DVD's, so most of my games....don't run. Since my warranty is out they won't even talk to me without me paying them $130 which is absurd. So, what optical drive should I be putting in this computer? I'm going to buy from Newegg, so any links would be nice too.

-Thanks
 
Newegg has a samsung 24x dvd burner for $19.99. I use it in my system, and it works fine with dvd's and cd's. Check your mounting bay to be sure it will fit. You may have to remove the new dvd drive plate, which isn't too hard, if your gateway dvd player mounts behind the case face plate.
