If you've a CD drive on your comp, you should be able to play DVDs on it with no problem.

The just get a new drive. You don't need to replace the ENTIRE computer if the disk drive is broken

Exactly. That's what I did when I got my current drive installed. It's not as easy to do with laptops as desktops, but it can be done.

My brother and I plan to get new computers and our price limit is 1000 in hardware alone and then we build it ourselves

You can buy a video conversion kit if you don't already have one. You can hook up your DVD player or cable box to one end via composite cables and your computer via USB to the other end. But it'd probably be cheaper to just buy a new DVD drive, which you'd need anyway. If you get an OEM drive from Newegg or something, it'd only be $20-25. And even if you don't know how to install an optical drive, I'm sure if you ask around, you'll find a buddy who can.
You can also rip off of Hulu, I guess. |
