*CRINGE*  Any reason you didn't go for the LG GSA-4163? 
  http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Submit=GO&Range=1&bop=and&description=GSA%2D4163  

Universal format, best Linux compatibility, AnandTech review
speed/reliability winner, etc...

Also, there is now the LG GSA-4165 which adds 4x dual-layer DVD-R (the
4163 only had 4x dual-layer DVD+R).  Ironically, it's available in black
for $3 cheaper than the 4163.  Go figure.
