I noticed that PC World magazine had the 40x12x48 Lite-On
CD-RW listed in their top 10 (#4).  This was in the July issue,
but I have seen Lite-On in there quite regularly.  I just found
the August issue and it droped to #6.

If you like the drive and you are comfortable with the price,
etc., I believe that anything in the top 10 would be a
good value/machine.
