LG is a good brand for such drives so I'd go for one of theirs, the "multi" range are fine and usually under £20.
Just make sure it's the same interface, presumably IDE not SATA.

After several years of research and experimentation I would thoroughly recommend the LG gh22lp20, assuming you need an IDE interfaced drive.
These are VERY reliable, fast, and usually come with both a black and an ivory coloured front bezel to match your PC case.
On eBay you can pick up immaculate and boxed examples for about £12 including p&p, or you should be able to buy them new for about £20 (+p&p)

I'm looking straight at an LG GH22NS40 (SATA) in my main W7 system.

Lg CDROM looks very solid so I am not surprised to see the same make recommended. Yes it will have to be IDE, machine does not know anything about SATA!!. I am just hoping that the case will be sufficiently identical to the old one, not a lot of margin for adjustment!!

Funnily enough I was looking at one of those just this week, but for hard disk purposes.
Even there I'm not sure what performance advantage their might be.

Have to agree there but it does open up other possibilities.

Even my modern Windows 7 (x64) system gets confused re booting so I have an IDE DVD-ROM that I had to use to install the OS.
Everything else is SATA, including the main DVD-RW drive.
(The disks are mirrored RAID but the DVD-RW obviously isn't)

Agreed that it is a packed box but the existing CDROM by LG is quite substantial and big compared with some other CD Drives. I was hoping that the replacement would be of similar proprtions and go into the hole avaiable. I wonder if LG still tells us the size in their catalogues? Must try to see.

Not had any problems when ordering from there at all, and they're definitely among the cheapest of the online stores.
