Moving this to CoOp.

Well .... I just picked up a Pioneer 106 from SVP for £128.99.

It burns at 4 X stright out the box (no firmware hacks) and seems very stable. It burns/reads DVD-R & DVD+R also.

One tip from me .... always use good media, such as Ritek 4X. ;)

Pioneer, Sony or Plextor would be my recommendations. As menitoned above stick to quality media (i.e. Ritek).
