I thought this was an excellent price and wanted to pass this along. NewEgg has the Pioneer DVR-108 16x DVD-/+RW IDE w/4x DVD-R 5pk for $72 plus $4 shipping. (This is the black-bezeled drive.) Just be sure to select the free gift as it's not automatically added when you add to cart.

I installed the DVR-108 in my Dual G4 with 10.3.6. No problems burning with Toast 6 after using MacTheRipper and DVD2OneX. I applied the patch but iDVD does not recognize it yet. If anyone finds a way to patch it for iDVD, please pass it along.
I have not burned a dual layer so I can't comment on that feature. Until the prices come down, I'll be sticking with the single layer discs. The extra speed is great. I previously had the DVR-105 that came with the computer.
I was able to test out Popcorn and it also recognizes the DVR-108. The resulting quality was very good. If you don't already have DVD2One, this would be an excellent choice.
