I really like the LaCie external DVD drives. They're tough, well built, and reliable. http://www.lacie.com/products/range.htm?...
I've used one with LightScibe for years. This will also move to your next computer.

If you go that route (and I would) get the firewire model so you can load operating systems with it. Ralph
Agreed about the firewire. Also the LightScribe allows you to write/burn professional looking labels on your disks.

You can use any IDE 5.25" Optical Drive, even a DVD Burning SuperDrive up to 24x, and get one for about $30-60

But I have been told it must be firewire to use as a boot drive or to wipe the hard drive.
