Building a $950 Diablo III PC: Confront Evil’s Rebirth on a Budget

In a budget build, the higher prices for Blu-Ray (and generally a lack of necessity) means foregoing the "next gen" optical disc standard. When it comes to DVD playback and burning, it's pretty tough to go wrong at the value end of the spectrum.

Take Asus' DRW-24B1ST OEM SATA drive. It pretty much reads and writes everything you can throw at it, and does it all for less than $20. It's even on sale now... deal!
