Default Upgrading CD-Rom

Do Dells have proprietary CD-rom readers? I want to replace it on a dell that is not mine.

Also what is the best IDE DVD burner? LG/Samsung?

Dells suck but they're not THAT bad. Although, I heard starting next year if you try to open the case it explodes. They're calling it a safety feature.
