HOT! - Best Buy 5-25 - 512 MB Kingston PC 2700 $39.99 AR, Verbatim 52x24x52 (Lite-On?) $14.99, More

For $15 AR, make yourself a hero, and get another one for the kids. Solid or not, 8x is a slug by today's standards.

Slug? SLUG!!!! Whatdoya mean?!!?
It's a blazer compared to my old 2x Sony external, which cost $1000!!!!! (back when blanks were $15).

Yeah, I know it's a slug, but really, I'm rarely sitting waiting for it to finish up. I hit "write" and walk away. And besides, isn't the rebate just one per household? Also, my kids are 7, 5 and 1, so they're not burning anything, it'd just be for my convenience, since theirs is closer to the kitchen.

I went in on Memorial Day to try and get the Verbatim 52x CDRW, but they were sold out. They were also sold out of about everything else except for the mouse (which I don't need as I have 5 other usable mouses collecting dust in my closet). He said that the next truck wasn't due in until Thursday night, and that the shelves would be full of everything again on Friday morning. Looks like I'm running out of the office at lunchtime to see if I can find a Lite-On and some RAM for my little bro's computer.

Check it out again... because I did score the 512 MB RAM on Wednesday... as they get new stock in on Tuesdays and Thursdays

weee...just got a gig of ram for 80 bucks (AR)


I had some problems with it though...I am actually having to underclock lest my system get freaky

 

[thatsright]

Does anyone know of any on-line reviews for the Verbatim drive??

I would get it BUT, I just got a open box TDK Velo CD 52x drive from BB two weeks ago, and I was still able to get the rebate for $20 off, so it only cost me $50 in the end (once I mail in the TDK rebate).

Another thing is that I hate the white front panel, so I'm thinking of maybe painting it black. But I won't go rush out and get it, unless I can read a review first. Does anyone know if it has Read Ahead feature and MT Rainer standard?

Thanks
