There are lots of sub-25 CD drives on newegg, and for $30 you can get a DVD drive

$49 will get a
Lite On 48x24x48x16 Combo Drive, Model LTC48161H, Retail

if the difference between $25 and $49 is unsurmountable for you then you are to hard up for a cd drive

save your pennies and get something worth having
just mho

Really the best deals on cdrws are found in the sunday papers. Look at the circular ads for compusa, bestbuy, and staples they normally have a drive for 10-30 dollars after rebates.

And if you only need a cdrom drive and not a cdrw drive then I am sure you could get one for 20-30 dollars without rebates.
