Plextor 12x10x32 cheapest price?

[Evoluter]

I've been browsing the forums and I'm wondering if any of you rebate masters have found any better deals than the buy.com deal that offers 30 off the plextor 10x12x32 drive.

http://www.us.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10252769&loc=101

Any hints would be appreciated.

I want the plextor too... but this belongs to the IWANNA thread

In case you didn't realize Before there are threads for this that wont get the Lock.

This will probably get locked, but I tell you what I have found.

I am in California, so even with the $30 off $150 coupon at buy.com I get charged tax. The total price for me is around 245-250, close to that.

The cheapest so far seems to be Onvia. No shipping over $50. There is a $25 off $200 coupon floating around out there that brings the price to $239.99 shipped to my house.

Now on both Buy.com and Onvia.com have 5% on pointclick, so you save a little there too.

Good luck, and let me know if you get a real good deal somewhere.

Does anyone really read the IWANNA threads?

why do you want a crappy ide drive..so what.its plextor...

get the scsi yamaha external 8 x 4 x 24 that compusa has..its scsi.with a 4 meg buffer.

the best burners are scsi...they dont have that burn proof.but they dont need it

Plextor has a 12/4/32 scsi drive too, but it is around 330 or higher. From what I have read and talked to actual owners, the plextor ide kick major a$$

Plextor IDE drives do kick ass. But that means their SCSI drive would kick that much MORE ass! SCSI is just a better performer than IDE at any speed/make.

Ah, but current IDE CD-RW drives are so fast and reliable that the difference is pretty much unnoticeable
