    I haven't seen to many searching em up, haven't done a lot of research in the subject But im planning on ordering my M11x Monday and I want to have a DL burner for it. I burn a lot of games and was wondering whats a good affordable one? Or is it possible to just get an enclosure for my DL in my desktop and use that? Thanks

    I have this one use on my current netbook and works really well. It has a two USB adaptor to ensure you get enough power (not that I have needed two).

    I have an LG GP08LU10 CD/DVD player/writer. Works well and comes with Nero, powerDVD and LightScribe.

    Has a USB port, and a USB power connection or you can use an external power connection, but as mentioned I've not needed the powered connection and just use the single USB connection on my M11xR1.
