SVP (great online store) has this offer:

Smashing the £20 barrier at SVP!
UK's First 16x DVD Writer with 8x DL for Under £20

This drive writes all commonly available discs including the latest high-capacity double-layer discs. It may be cheap, but it's not sub-standard. It uses Philips technology. Philips co-invented the CDR, so they should know a lot about optical drives!

Internal ones require you to fit them inside your computer.
External ones are connected to your computer by a wire. (very useful for older laptops).

It is also possible to buy a casing set to make an internal one into an external one.

If you explore around the SVP site you'll find more info.

Is it easy to fit an internal DVD writer, for a complete novice. Does the writer come complete with cables and software?
Thanks

It is easy to dom unless its a boxed drive it wont come with software or cables, perhaps some screws and a spare jumper. OEM drives are just a drive in a sellothane wrapper.

It takes about 10 mins to put a drive in you normally need one spare cable form power supplier and one spare ribbon cable which is normally going spare.
