DVD burner upgrade for slot-loading-iMacs ?
Is there a slot loading DVD burner available that will fit a slot loading iMac?
I have a straight DVD/CD drive with no burning facility, and I would love to prolong the life of the machine. I think Panther is going to make quite a difference and an HD upgrade is the easy bit, but I cannot find either a combo drive or a DVD burner, do they exist?

W00T, $449 ahem, does any one buy these, I note that the don't have any in stock.
having read this artical I had high hopes of a reasonable upgrade for sentimental reasons.
I thought of doing this but the price is high, i will get my wife a pb for christmas that will answer the burn dvd thing, for that it doesn't really extend my iMac's life, since making dvd's on the 400 will be slow, i will upgrade my hd and make video cd's with toast 5 not as good as idvd but putting more $$$$ in the dv doen'st make much sense to me, i'll save the 600 for my imac or pb upgrade. shoot you can spend a bit more and get a new emac and it's a 4x superdrive!!!!!
Panther will deal with most of the preformance shortcommings. It is fine for iMovie editing but encoding a film is an overnight job, not that it matters i don't need to use the machine at night.
