    hello. new to the forums. my company just bought 22 new cf-31 and i must say i was quite impressed with the laptop. but the problem was the laptops did not come with any cd/dvd drive of any kind. i looked up the price of one from our vendor but it was over 300 each. since i am new to rugged laptops and the such i must say it was quite the sticker shock. i realized the laptops were to be expensive but i just dont know about little parts like these. anyhow does any company make cheaper aftermarket parts for these? or does any of the models i see on ebay or tigerdirect that are generic work as replacement parts such as the dvd drive?

    thanks for your time

    I can get your DVD burner drives for the CF-31's at $200 each if you buy 22 of them.

    Thanks
