Of course, you can buy an external DVD burner. The question is whateither you want it premade or make it yourself.

Simple...just get a regular desktop dvd burner and a 5.25" enclosure.

This is what I did when I decided I wanted a lightscribe dvd burner.
MAKE SURE THAT THE CONNECTION OF THE BOTH DRIVE AND ENCLOSURE MATCH.

Make sure you get one with a power inlet, as you dont want to run into power issues once youve built it.
can an external dvd drive?
