looking for something to make my TJ07 look more sleek when I mod it.. :pimp:

I thought upon this idea right here, slot-loading DVD-RW/CD-RW drives.
first off; do they perform decently?
are they even available in SATA? (I've only seen IDE..)
and are they currently still being made? I've heard rumours they're mostly discontinued.. :(
any info would be greatly appreciated so I can think this out further
