medion "Home Entertainment Design Center & PC All in One"

You may want to check on this, but the media center PCs sold by Aldi in Germany have gotten some complaints about being extremely noisy, think: airplane about to take off. Other than that I know people are very happy with them.

At least warm. Ritek dvd-r 4x GO4 50 pack 36.99 at newegg

I ordered two spindles. From what I can tell they are the same as the bulk packaged in the red wrapper. Two differences: these are on a spindle and they have a writing surface and a Ridata logo printed on them, otherwise they appear to be the same as the bulk. No clue why they are a couple of...
