$110 dollars for a new DVD drive and installation?

you can buy DVD burners for $30 now and it takes about 5 minutes to install. if that price is higher, or even the same now as it was then, then those guys are making a killing off the computer illiterate. if you feel confident taking apart your computer i suggest you do the work yourself.Quote
