I also went with just the standard combo drive. In the iLife apps
(iDVD) you can burn to an image file and ship that across to a PC to
burn on a DVD, but again, most of my stuff is streamed across from a
file server. Noticed that the mac OS X will just mount a .iso file
without any additional 3rd party software - sweet!

The only area I thought about later was backup - it might be nice to
have a DVD drive in the mac so that the backup can write to DVD. Again,
I can backup to network share and burn it there so no big deal!
