Liteon 40x12x48 CDRW $80 w/ Next Day Fedex FREE From Dell

[Clocker]

I just got confirmation on my order!

Order the CDRW:

and

ADD THIS MEDIA TOO (Part Number 058051 if you want to use the Dell search instead)

Use these stackable coupons at Dell Home:

• $10 off $100 stackable coupon with code: 37F6A0853A3 [exp 4/29]
• 10% off any Software & Peripherals code: D34BCAC91D2A [exp 5/11]

By using the CDR Media to get you over $100 rather than the $0.05 case screw you can buy, ALL FORMS OF SHIPPING ARE LISTED AS FREE!

My media is to be delivered to me tomorrow as it was in stock. THe drive is said to ship out on Thursday but the Anandtech Forum guys are stating that they are getting their drives even before the system knows they have shipped out!!

Great deal on probably the best CDRW out there. Great opportunity to ge your dad a sweet CDRW and a fast WD1200JB at a discount too Handruin!!

How about another option for the poll :

"OMG I HATE IT WHEN U.S.-BASED PEOPLE GET SUCH AMAZING DEALS ON PC EQUIPMENT AND I'M LEFT PAYING ABOUT 4X AS MUCH."

 

[Clocker]

LOL. Sorry. THe real funny part about this whole thing is that I think Dell was having trouble with their online ordering system yesterday and today. Because of that, I tried ordering the drive multiple times from multiple Dell Home accounts. I think I will have a supply of 3-4 drives before this is over if I can't get the other orders cancelled in time. THe order confirmations just keep coming in now.....36 hours later! UGH!!

Clocker, I'm sure you can recoup your money from the add'l drives pretty easily via eBay or selling to other SF members. Assuming you decide to sell, anyway.

I just ordered mine (thanks!) as I've been waiting for a good deal on this drive. I opted for the 30 spindle of 32x media vs. the single disk but still, after discounts that's only $90 delivered and there's a $6 rebate on that for the CD-RWs.

And for more Dell goodness, work let me spec a new laptop so I've got a Latitude on it's way with a P4M 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM, 40GB HD, and DVD/CD-RW combo. And the notebook screen that does 1600x1200 (why isn't this available for desktops?).

Dell is using P4m's right? I ran into a WinBook P4 today that had a desktop P4 in it. You couldn't keep it on your legs - it was too hot. The bottom of that thing had to be 160 degrees F. I can only hope that was from heat being dissipated away from CPU.

I hit techbargains and some other "bargains" sites a couple times a week. There's always great stuff out there. Like $579 Canon Powershot G2s.

Don't y'all in UK/AU have the same sorts of things somewhere?

No.

I squeezed a Dell branded WD1200jb out of Dell for $125 shipped with free shipping. Only complaint is the warranty is only 1 year through Dell, rather that the 3 years through WD.

It is available. It's called the Dell 2000FP, it's a 20" 1600*1200 flat panel with s-video, composite, DVI and analog inputs. A sweeeet monitor.

But not as a 15" display. That 20"er costs $1600; what's the price of the 15" version? I would think it'd be less than the 20"er and might be closer to affordable for a home user.

Mercutio - The G2 should be a great camera for you. I use the G1 and a 1GB microdrive and I love it.

15" UXGA is a strain for many peoples eyes. There is no 15" version of the 2000FP. I would much rather have the 20" version. The 20" was available for just under $1300 yesterday when there was 20% off, Dell does this quite often so it's only a matter of waiting. Of course in Australia it is not available at all.

Somehow, the word "D'Oh" is more appropriate than usual.

 

[Clocker]

Clocker,

Forced by an impulse beyond my control I had to choose option number 3 in the poll above. Nothing personal, just too good an opportunity to pass up.

The Moderate One

 

[Clocker]

Muhahahahah!! So, who is the other wise ass!! :lol:

 

[Pradeep]

That would be me me me.

 

[flagreen]

Clocker,

I meant to tell you that I edited out the order number in your post above as you requested.
