Thanks to Ian, I snatched up this great deal:

$199.00 out the door, free shipping, w/ tax if you live in CA...
http://www.optorite.com/dd0203.htm
My order w/ Accupc went flawlessly. It was shipped via Fedex free shipping, 2-3 days shipping.
In the Optorite box, I received the Optorite DD0203 DVD+-R/RW writer, a blank "That's DVD+R" 4X media, audio cable, screws, a *really* short manual (for newbies this will be a problem), CD w/ Sonic myDVD version 4.0, and a CD w/ B's Recroder Gold5 Basic (I think this is used for HD Burn), B's CLip5.
The DVD drive sticker says manufactured May 2003, and it looks like an original Optorite drive, as I don't see any other model numbers or brands stated on the drive.
I will not have a chance to test out the DVD Drive due to work until later today or tomorrow, unless I really get backed up and I won't get to test it til Sunday or Monday.
Since my new PC is still being built by MonarchComputer.com, I'll test this on a 2 year old Compaq PC, w/ an Intel Celeron 600Mhz processor, 256 MB SD-Ram. I will be rebuilding a new OS w/ minimal software to test out this puppy, so it will take a while to get that set up...
As I get a chance to test it, I'll post the results here.
Ian - would you be able to host pix of the result? I don't have any pages to upload the pix...
