Does your computer need to have any specific requirements for a Blu-Ray drive?

I heard you need to have a compatible monitor, does that just mean one that uses the DVI lead instead of RGB?

Looking to get a BD re-writer drive since you can get them for about £180.

The price has dropped so much, they were like £500 6 months ago.
