My favorites are the BenQ 1650 and the NEC 3550. I usually buy from Newegg online though. Price this weekend online with 3-day shipping is $35-$38. http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/Category.asp?Category=10 Many of the other brands are rebadged versions of these burners but sometimes there is no way of knowing for sure. Some rebadged burners can be identified here: http://forum.rpc1.org/portal.php
ty,i wish i could go there and get one,thats a great price,but i have no credit card,and i had to buy one of those temp ones for the programs,hmmmmmm,if i was to get one from bestbuy,which one would you suggest,i dont have alot of resorces here in town
This Sony drive uses the BenQ usually: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...t&productCategoryId=cat01041&id=1130987962482 This Pioneer drive is probably made by Asus: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...t&productCategoryId=cat01041&id=1140392418231 Seriously, the BenQ and NEC drives at Newegg are better deals. The reason I recommend BenQ and NEC burners is because there are lots of users, hacked firmware, and firmware updates. Can you get someone else to order for you and give them the cash upfront. Otherwise I'd probably go with the Sony above. You might want to wait until Sunday to see of any of the stores have a sale. Sometimes the office supply stores get down to $40 for their off brands which are sometimes NECs and BenQs and Liteons. I didn't recommend Liteon because I've had poor luck with them. Others haven't and swear by them over all others.
Jesus, don't you have an ATM debit card? Anyway, NEC, Plextor, BenQ. Those are the guys to stick with. Best Buy sells some Plextor, so maybe check into those. BB does also sell some Sony drives that are re-badged, you can go with those in a pinch.
ty laddyboy,and ty for sending the link,im on my way there right now to get the sony,and if it goes on sale mondy,bestbuy is always good for giving the sale price,so ill get some cash back.i really wish i could get a benq,or a nec,but the sony will have to do,i just dont want to wait for the 3 or 4 days it takes to get here,ty and again another great member giving me another great response,god i love this site,i love it so much i might just have to make it my homepage cya later odie241
