about $50 for the burner and about $40 for an in-store install

Well, every PC has space for at least one optical drive so there's no problem there, and fitting a new drive really is incredibly easy so no cost there either. Which only leaves you with the cost of the drive itself, and as everyone has DVD/CD burner these days they're very cheap to buy, even for the top spec drives. I'm assuming you're in the US here, so look at this as an example:
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-DRU-810A-Internal-Double-Format/dp/B000A5TBM8/sr=8-1/qid=1167350227/ref=pd_bbs_1/105-3006220-0483660?ie=UTF8&s=electronics
It does DVD+R and DVD-R, handles dual layer discs and it burns at up to 16 speed, which is the fastest burn speed at the moment. And it's only $45. Plus Amazon isn't likely to be the cheapest place in the country for computer components so you can likely get it even cheaper than that if you shop around a bit.
