Ok, since when did they make DVD drives like this Gigabyte GO-M1600A? (Apparently, now, I guess. )

Looks bling, bling.

It might be good to use that as a tuner and CD player to pair with the empeg. Interesting.

What is it exactly? It looks like an in-car thing, but I get the feeling it's a drive for a PC?!

From the looks of it, that's a car unit.

Hmm, those VU-meter graphics are reminiscent of something...

It says it'll play MP3s. Wonder if it'll play them from a DVD-RW? Hmmm.

Reading more closely, maybe not. It talks about OS support and being able to play stuff when the PC is off. Oh well...

Hehe, I like the self-quoting

It also says "All the PC form-factors / OS can be used"

Plus, it looks a tad to short for a DIN.

Anyone know a price? Or a UK supplier?

Yeah, it's a DVD-ROM drive to be placed in a PC case.

That would be neat for my shuttle if they make a DVD RW.

Only thing I don't like is the knobs. They look kind of cheap. Other than that I would want one.

Agreed. They look very 1980-ish. Blech. It just doesn't go with the rest of the high-tech look.
