This is a good place to find cheap used CD drives. Check the clearance section for good deals. Just be aware that they can go a week or two before putting drives in this section. You might check it every few days for a month and find nothing. Then one day, you will find some good deals. Two months ago I got a fully functional 8X DVD drive for $10! This drive just had a little crack in the plastic case. Today I bought a 12X drive for $10. These come with 30 day warranty and audio cable. Shipping is reasonable. The $5 floppy drives in the regular (non-clearance) section are a good deal.

The prices are alright, a few bucks under pricewatch on most things, but some of the prices are uncoordinated.....1 GB, 5400 RPM (IDE) HD for $28, and a 6.5 GB 5400 RPM (EIDE) for twice as much.

This is one of those sites that doesn't always have great deals. But every once in awhile, you find real nuggets. Not sure about these prices being not much better than pricewatch, but I do know that many people in my family network would prefer quiet 12X drives to the noisy 56X drives. It is my honest guess that most of my brothers and sisters couldn't really tell the difference between a 12X and a 56X, but they sure as heck would complain about a drive being noisy.

Prices didn't seem that great but like any site you keep checking back and a good deal is bound to pop up. Ape Out.
