Get a USB 2.0 enclosure (about $30), then buy any internal DVD burner
you want. It's the equivalent of an internal drive (one exception:
you can't upgrade your BIOS that way, whereas some of the external USB
burners do allow you to do that.) When the next technology comes out
in a year, you can buy another internal burner and replace the one in
your enclosure.

I've seen 16X DVD burners in the $80 range.
