Anyone recommend a DVD drive?
Getting annoyed with my current one in my HCPC. Too noisy. Can anyone recomend an easy to multi-region black IDE drive pref slot load?

My brother's in the same boat with his new machine (although it still seems to be overheating and capping out :/).
Silver one for him... As for slot load then there's only one... My brother found a second hand one, sprayed the front silver to match the bezel of the PC, then I installed it and the damn thing was b0rked

Slot loaders are rare, and finding one with RPC1 firmware rarer. You probably need to search the RPC1 firmware sites first and then hunt down a second-hand drive that fits (the newer the drive, the less likely it'll have been hacked). I just gave my RPC1-flashed Pioneer DVD-114F to lostkat, but quiet it wasn't.
