If you live near any of the Staples Warehouse's they are having a Clearance sale this weekend!
Yamaha 8x4x32 $99.xx
Acer 6x4x? $99.xx
Sony 10x4x32 $149.xx
I bought the Sony it the Spressa Int-IDE w/4mb buffer MODEL CRX145E/CH.
very nice. They had like a skid of the Sony's, half a skid of the Acer, and only about a Dozen Yamahas. The warehouse GM told me that it's overstocked, non-carry thru stuff (they're not selling these models anymore).
So If you're in range of Terre Haute, IN they're open tomorrow (at the South Industrial Park), like I said they had around 60-70 Sony's Friday night and most folks around here don't know what a computer is let alone cdrw...
they also have other stuff, like brand new E-Monsters @ $399 (if you like em -I don't) PIII5xx, 64mb, 15gb, DVD, 8mbTNT, etc.
Shake em up locally about this other stuff if you're in the look.
