Also 3 pk cdrw, modem, acid 2.0 music(?) burning software, photo suite, corel linux, turbolinux workstation, other software.
17.2 gig hd $99 (no rebate).

 

[JetLi]

is that a 17.2 MB hdd or 17.2 gig harddrive? What brand?

Jet Li

 

[ebaker]

Doesn't say anything except dma66. I'd guess its a compusa/maxtor.

 

[falconx88]

the hd is free after rebate??

 

[Crazy8]

probably not. Visit here for details.

Why would you even ask if a hard drive is 17.2 megs? That's ridiculous.

The 17.2 GB hard drive is $99 - no rebates involved. Plus, if it's either a Maxtor or a CompUSA labeled Maxtor, you can send for the free Photoshop LE software. The software would cost you $89 if you were to purchase it by itself. I received my software the other day, but haven't installed it yet.

Unfortunately, it looks like it's a 5,400 RPM drive from the Maxtor 4320 series. Not a speed demon by today's standards, but still some good secondary storage. If this is the drive, here's Maxtor's information on it: http://www.maxtor.com/newsroom/press/nr100198.html

The 17.2 GB harddrive is a 5400 UDMA 66 western digital drive. it also includes a $30 rebate from western digital that isn't mentioned in the compusa add. i had to find the rebate myself, they didn't know anything about it.

p.s. my 17.2 GB drive tured out to really be an 18.1 GB drive (there was a letter inside the box tellimg me so).

 

[403Forbidden]

for $60 i might get one... I already got 2 of those $89 IBM 15gb 7200/ATA 100's from buy.com

At my local CompUSA, they were substituting a 20Gb CompUSA/Maxtor
HD for the 17.2Gig drive in the ad. No rebate, but free PhototShop
LE. It's a UMA66 5400 RPM 0.5Mb Cache drive. So-so, but OK
for the price.

The hottest deals at CompUSA this week, IMHO, are the free Corel
Linux Deluxe after rebate (many people think Corel is the best
personal user Linux, and this one comes with Wordperfect, etc.),
and the free Acid Music 2.0 after rebate (this program lists for
$100, and it's a lot of fun). Acid Music is a program that
allows you to "compose" music from loops. Very cool, actually.
Though I suspect that anyone who doesn't already know what it is
probably won't be interested.

The worst freebee is the PCI winmodem that turns out to be a
PCTel chipset modem. The only reason to get one of these is A)
to have an emergency stopgap if a power surge fries your current
modem; B) if you're putting together a cheapo system for a stranger
(you wouldn't foist this modem on a friend!)

Are you sure the WD drive is the retail box model with a current rebate?
