    Getting back to your original query.

    The current standard is 10x DVD's. The Bare Drive will probally set you back £100-£120. If your system is not that high spec the Creative Labs Encore Kits is quite good. It includes the Drive and a decoder card, costs around £175.00 and can be used for multiregion.

    Watch out for some of the newer drives as they have their regions locked in the firmware.

    i assume you mean the mpeg2 card by decoder card ..
    im running on a pIII500/128mb so that shouldnt be a necessity as far as im aware ..
    am i correct ?
