    Hi LocoEng,

    Can you tell me which one of these 2 stores would deal with "Meritline" or "SuperMediaStore" to buy a 1655 ... SMS is few bucks more!

    My concern is dependability of the vendor!?!?!? And th eproduct that I will get. Unfortunately NewEgg does not have these anymore!

    Thanks!
    G!

    I can tell you that Meritline did not send me the rebate for burner, purchased in March, within the 10-12 week promised timeframe. I did get it 19 weeks after submission, but only after nagging with repeated phone calls + two compalints to Yahoo Shopping.

    Hi StanH1000,

    Thanks for taking the time to give me your input. I am going to stop being cheap and for $3 more go with SMS ... sinc eit seems they are a little better.

    I am going to cross my finger and hope to get a good OEM and I will be in business.

    Thanks!
    G!

    with the Benq DW1650 being a rare beast now i'm digging up a few Benq threads to shout out to any UK readers that PC World are still selling these drives, but now at £25, so i bought 2 today to keep unopened as spare drives. get them while you can i say..

    I should have bought 2 of each 1640, 1650, 1655 when they were only $30 from NE.

    Wish BenQ would give a Warning before getting out of the business!!!

    So, now that BenQ is gone what is a Good contender for an all-around Good Ripper(Reader) and Burner? [may be I should start a new post???]

    Anyways ... MERRY XMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS to YOU ALL.

    G!
