HI guys, I was surfing the dreambox sites today and spotted this, the internal DVD burner drive for the DM8000.

The purpose of this post is to determine what exactly is the requirement for the DVD drive in the DM8000. You'll notice this guy wants £129 for this drive. Is he taking the f8cking p1ss ! Safe to say, this guy has a bad reputation and I would stay well clear.
Here's a couple of alternatives but will anything do ???

As you can see these drives are around the £30 mark. The site I've used does have a good rep !
I'm not a Dm8000 owner yet, I'm waiting for the £ to recover a little, but when it does, I'll be having one. Just thought this might be one thing people are looking at.
Regards
MCC.
