Been on an upgrade binge for the last month and while it was not my goal, I ended up upgrading
my entire system.
Every single item was bought thru Hot Deal except for one item that I bought in FS/FT

Bytecc aluminum external 5.25" housing , firewire and USB 2..looks like it was never used, $30 shipped from FS/FT area...got this for the Lite-On DVD-RW so I can use it on both my PCs.
