Two things:

1) That style of DVD drive (Audiovox does something similar) traps a lot of hear inside the monitor.Ifyou have another way to go, I'd take it, because heat isthe enemy of electronics, and DVD laser pickups generate a LOT of hear over time.

2) It would be totally inappropriate of me to advertise Directed Video on the web. It would be totally inapproariate to tell you that I can easily beat by a couple hundred bucks the price you listed (if your price was for the HRK700 kit - that was retail.). It also would be totally inappropriate for me to sell them to any forum members. So whatever you do, don't contact me and try to buy any of these, please.
