. Have only used 2 or 3 discs so far, last one here

- funny purple colour. Added some from Media Markt Aachen, but being 5pc. JC boxes they weren't cheap either, even at German prices

. Only retail TY I see now is Verbatim 16X (picked up the last two Panasonic 25pc. spindles a couple weeks ago

).

Nice, Cressida! I've only used a few of my Sony T02 s as well (miscounted, it's just under 100, forgot a 25 pcs spindle LOL).

Same here, I only see the 16x Verb TYs now...even the Verbie Extra Protection TY CDRs are nowhere to be seen!

Just bought Logitech MX620 cordless laser mouse from Sam's Club and really enjoy using it! It comes with neat software.

**mciahel** · 07-03-2008

Just got my new notebook, a Dell Vostro 1500.

2 GHz Dual Core Intel CPU, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD and XP Pro.

Seems to be very quiet (apart from the HDD) and a magnet for fingerprints

Optical drive is a Samsung TS-L632H, DVD-RAM capability is crippled by Dell OEM firmware

Interesting: There are still entries of DVD-RAM discs present in the firmware.
The Roxio software provided is *cough* a recommendation to uninstall and get something else

Additionally, tons of ads are loaded from the internet

Fortunately, I have a bunch of Nero discs, I only have to find them

And there is ImgBurn

Seagate external USB2/FireWire 750 GB HDD (ST3750640CB-RK), knocked down at nearby Maplin for 99 GBP. Despite being an older model, it's a single drive inside and I'm sure SATA internal interface... got great previous reviews and is whisper quiet in action.

Hi

The actual HDD is a ULTRA/ATA 100.
Model ST3750640A-RK .
Still no a bad deal at all.
About to be replaced by this:

*Two Degrees* · 09-03-2008

3 x 3-pack of Maxell BQ 8x DVD-R MIJ (MXLRG03)
9 x Maxell 16x DVD+R in jewel case MIJ (MAXELL 003)
2 x Maxell 16x DVD-R in jewel case MIJ (MXL RG04)

All purchased at a local media shop that has Maxell media on clearance. I paid about $15 for everything.

All that for $15!

....so it was worth the trip then

pythonis · 10-03-2008

25 pack of verbatim MCC-003 DVD+ for $9.99 plus volumes 2, 4, and 5 of the Looney Tunes Collection. Also finally decided to grab Corpse Bride (although it could be another 2 or 3 years before i watch it).

Womi · 11-03-2008

I just bought a 25 pack of fake RicohD00s, probably made in Hong Kong.

Most likely they are absolute crap, but I just couldnt resist at that price.

~0,59€ a disc! - thats about 0,90$

Cressida · 11-03-2008

A Philips CDRW 1610 (same as pictured, only 1600 in stead of 1200 Series). I suddently realised I didn't have a CD drive from the inventor of the CD when I found this one on sale for €8,-

. Manufactured February 2002, still sealed in the anti-static bag.

Hehe, those older Philips drives always looked really cool. My CDD 3610 looked pretty nice too, with an orange and a green LED (which, when burning, would aternately light). Nice find

Yep, I could have gone for a faster Samsung, BenQ or BTC at the same price, but they all looked bland in comparison

.

Also, I just crossflahed an HP CDWriter+ 9100i to 9300i - now it can burn CD's at 10x in stead of 8x

. Found good info on CDFreaks.com for this

.

Some Sketchers sneakers [US size 16

], a bit of an outfit for prom [shirt, pants, tie], and my dad virtually gave me all leftover change [I think I got around 70 dollars

]. I'm a happy boy.

Womi · 13-03-2008

my fake media arrived today

some pics

They are from the same manufacturer as the MediaRange DVD+R DL RICOHJPN fakes.

But it seems like I got lucky with this batch

*ripit* · 14-03-2008

I recently got a pentax dslr for 275$ with 18-55 kit lens (new but old stock, about a 3 year old model). The nice thing is that it was an authorized dealer so its got the full 1yr warranty manufactures warranty. I also got a pentax 80-200 lens for 50$ (an old film lens so 120mm-300mm equivalent, also new but old stock).

I have been trying to refrain from buying media to burn through some old stuff and have actually been managing to fight the buying addiction (and managed to burn through a few hundred old 4x disks).

slytrans69 · 14-03-2008

Well it seems that I can't get no satisfaction when it comes to researching SATA optical disc drives. So to day I bought a Samsung SH-202J and a Pioneer DVR-115D. I also am going to retire all of my floppy drives, since I haven't used them in years, so I bought four 5 1/4" bay S-Link multifunction panels. Now all of my Plextor and BenQ drives have two new playmates. I also put Vista Ultimate 64 bit on my test PC and Vista Ultimate 32 bit on my main PC. Of course they are on HD's that are running as slaves. I will be using XP Pro for my basic OS for a few more years, or until I get one of Linux OS to do everything that windows does, including using all of the hardware and software. I am getting close. The fun never stops.

Verbatim DVD-R 16X ( MCC 03RG20 ) CMC Made WIP New Packaging 50Disc spindle $15.99 from Micro Center is this Prodisc made
Very hard to find CMC made MAPA

*koba* · 17-03-2008

A brand new PLEXTOR PX-760A/T4. I just bought it today in Akihabara.
This one is a re-import and comes in a different package than the JP version. Software is a lttle different from JP version too since it contains NERO6 etc as in the US/European version. The drive is Made in China September 2006 and TLA is #0104.
Bought it as spare for my PX-760A.

**Albert** · 17-03-2008

I got 10 discs of each of the following @ RiteAid...

Maxell-branded:
4x DVD-R made in Japan [MXL RG02]
4x DVD+R made in Taiwan [RITEK R02]

FujiFilm-branded:
4x DVD+R made in Taiwan [RICOHJPN R01]
8x DVD+R made in Japan [YUDEN000 T02]
8x DVD-R made in Japan [TYG02]

I saw some TDK 16x DVD-R made in India, but I don't want any TTH02 right now.
