When will desktop PCs come with internal BD-RE drives?

[Bruce Morrison]

Hi everyone, this is my first post in this section of the forums (I'm usually in the Blu-ray software section).

My current Dell desktop PC is four years old and seems to be getting rather slow in some situations, so I'm hoping to replace it during this year. However, I would ideally like my next PC to have an integrated rewritable Blu-ray drive, which I would want to use for data backups. I've checked the Dell website and the optical drive on their current models is still just a DVD read/write drive that can also read/play BDs (but not write to BD-RE discs). This also seems to be true of Hewlett Packard's current range.

So my question is - how much longer is it likely to be before an integrated BD-RE drive becomes the standard optical drive on desktop PCs? (Or are there any desktop PCs that already have this?)

Any information/suggestions would be gratefully received.
