Im looking for a vertical standing DVD burner

I'm setting up a HTPC and i've picked up a decent MAtx case. The orientation will end up with the DVD drive in the vertical position. I've set things up with a standard DVD rom for now, but it's pain to install the disc, as it wants to fall out as the tray closes.
I've seen the slot style drives. Does anyone know who carries these?
Or is there a different tray style that would work?

thanks...

most typical trays have little tabs that prevent the disc from falling off in vertical position, and some even have tabs that can be extended out.

As for slot drives, you'll be hard pressed to find a burner, since they mostly come in the pioneer slot reader flavours.

My Pioneer 108 burner has tabs to allow it to use vertical orientation. It works on my PS2, so I don't see why it wouldn't work here too
