http://www.buy.com/clearance/product.asp?sku=70000011 if you want
cheapest possible solution that works fine

or check out http://www.memorymedia.com they have some really
good prices.

I'm partial to creative myself, I'm very happy with my Encore 6x.
I use it to watch movies on my 32" Trinitron. They also have
excellent driver support too.

Check this deal out.

It's Pioneer's new 10X DVD drive and the Real Magic Hollywood Plus
decoder card for $162. It's a retail box, so you don't have to worry
about it being a whitebox barebones POS.

That's a great deal, on a great drive and decoder combo.
IMO, you'd be hard pressed to find a cheaper price. The drive alone
is worth at least $100 retail. And the decoder is worth $60 retail at
the cheapest.

I have the HollyWood Plus decoder card, and enjoy it very much.
It comes with my highest recommendation.

That's their website. There are alot of nice little products they
offer. (Like a remote control for you DVD's, so you don't have to be
in front a computer)
