I had a Benq 1650 but it went out on me and had to return to Newegg.
So, what's a good burner to buy for around $30 these days?

LITE ON 16X SHM-165H6S is a good one -
Thanks. That looks like a good one. I probably should have qualified my question. The only thing I care about is great burns. Don't care if it is loud. Don't care if it is black, white, or silver. Just great burns.Husker Nation is Strong!

The NEC 3550 is a great burner when fixed with Liggy's&Dee's firmware for bitsetting. I am using version 1Y6 right now. I used Verbatims +Rs for all of my burns now.
It then burns DVD+Rs as DVD-ROMs. Here is a link about bitsetting.Gary D

I need a new drive too, and as you can no longer get the DW1650, would the 3550 NEC be a good choice Gary?
I want excellent burns, and better rip times over my RipLocked LG (locked to 4.5x).
Any good places I should look for one?
Btw Huskerfan...thatnks for starting a thread for me

Furi, I've searched threads and it seems like most people around here are in love with the NEC, Liteon, or Benq.
BR7, that link is for DVDrebuilder. Not sure what that means?
Gary and BR7, I assume you're getting quality scans in the upper 90's? I usually burn with TY's from Supermediastore and was averaging 97-98 on most burns with my Benq 1650.
EDIT: Whoooaaa. That was weird. When I first clicked on your link it went to a DVD rebuilder "How to" page. Now I clicked on it and it took me to your scan. Thanks for sharing!Last edited by Huskerfan; 20 Jan 2007, 07:31 AM.Husker Nation is Strong!

Is the 165P6S the same but without the lightscribe? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106018
Newegg has the retail version for about $4 more which is the same price as Mwave. I'm comfortable with Newegg.
I guess I could wait until they offer free shipping but heck it's only 6 bucks for me.Husker Nation is Strong!

Yes I think it is the same If you do get it I would recommend using the MV9N firmware from C0deKing from what I have been reading it's been giving very good results compared to the stock firmware.I have the lightscribe version so I am using the HV9N version In case you didn't see the link to the firmware click here
