sorry should mention this is BD playback only but it does write DVD/CD but maybe not as fast as some more dedicated DVD Writers.

Make one. Get an internal drive with a external CD case. Probrably cost you less than 160.00 American. Check www.newegg.com for cases and drives.

I just made one myself, actually. It was more than $160 for me, but it's now under this price. Damn price-drop the week after I order...

Blu-Ray Drive:
LITE-ON Black 12X DVD-ROM 32X CD-ROM SATA Blu-ray DVD-ROM Drive Model DH-4O1S-11 - OEM - $129.99

As for the enclosure, there are a few different routes. I already owned a USB enclosure that was malfunctioning, so I gutted it and put a SATA to USB adapter in it. The adapter was $17 at TigerDirect.com and you could technically use it without an enclosure, if you don't mind an open drive on your desk.
