Zettabyte today announced that it will begin selling a SuperDrive-equipped eMac, replacing the machine's built-in CD-RW drive with a CD-RW/DVD-RW mechanism that allows users to view and burn DVDs. The company is offering the systems for $1,500.

Ummm, you can't buy a SuperDrive eMac from Apple. There is no such thing.
I think you may be confusing the DVD burning -SuperDrive with the Combo Drive.
;)
I like the list of related stories. That's a nice idea in case anyone missed out on the older news.
Anyone considering purchasing one of these from Zettabyte should be aware that Zettabyte does not appear to be an authorized Apple dealer, particularly not for Internet sales (at least, they're not listed as an authorized dealer in the Apple retailer database on Apple's web site). If that's the case, since the eMac is sold through a non-autorized reseller who has "modified" the system by the installation of the SuperDrive, the Apple warranty may be void. You should confirm the status of the warranty, both with Apple and in writing from Zettabyte, before purchasing one of these systems.
What is the point without iDVD? You can't buy this software and FCP & Studio well if you can afford that why buy an eMac?
You can buy the iDVD 2 upgrade which is the complete software for $19.95 from Apple.

This is great as long as Apple doesn't decide it wants that market. Would still be better off getting the eMac superdrive through the education store if you're able to, the ram specs are lower on the Zettabytes machine, but the ram is cheaper over all. Plus you need to buy the stand as an extra if you need it (heard you really should have it). Glad to see there is this option, I wonder if they get got the nod from Apple, ie. we will not be offering a public superdrive equipped eMac.
