This was posted about a month or two ago and I bought three of them. It's back again. 16X Lite-On retail with Power DVD 3.0. Price went down again to 36.51 plus free shipping until the 15th of May with purchases over $10.00. They do charge tax, so for me it $39.53 in CA. Tax rate will vary. Good price for a really good drive. Performs DAE at 30-40. Great for disk to disk copying with all those high speed burners out there.

Sorry, Here's the link 16X Lite-On DVD

got this drive from dell a couple weeks ago for about $40 shipped from dell home, this drive is great! probably one of the best if not the best dvd drives available.
 
This really is a great deal. I got one during the last round and just installed it in a Duron box. I have another just like it in the machine I built before. Does a better job playing DVDs than my Toshiba component unit!

I may have to order another at this price, just in case I have to build another PC soon.. 😉

Thanks!
 
Wait this says 40x cdrom...I thought they were 48x? That's the whole reason I wanted the liteon...

<edit> Nevermind...I'm gonna grab it...I don't think they even made a 40x version... This is great, $39.25 and I was thinking about getting it from Newegg for $48 :Q </edit>
 
It is a 48X drive. The Dell site says 40X but their Tech specs say 48X. My box states it's a 48X drive. The model is LTD 163 which 16X/48X.
 
bump for a great drive, i got it on this deal the last 2 times. first time it came with PowerDVD 3.0, second time it came with PowerDVD 4.0...

it is indeed 16x dvd and 48x cd-rom...it will rip audio up to 48x...i love this drive...

i had one cd that was giving my other drives some problems...it wouldn't read let alone rip, i stuck it in this drive and it read it...had to drop the ripping speed to like 4x but it ripped it perfectly while the others couldn't even read it...definitely recommended!!!
 


<< Sorry, if it ain't black, then it's not worth it. Black computers are the best! >>

I just turn the lights off. It makes everything black.
 
This tax thing is very strange because I have both dell home and business accounts, and they don't charge me tax for home purchases, but the taxes show up when I buy under small business... I did this way back during the WD 120gb special ed. deal, but my final reciept had the tax removed, even though the tax showed up on the order form prior to me actually submitting the order...

Anyone have any answers to this?

Oh, and I thought they didn't tax purchases to California....
 
these are indeed new. They work great for playback. But when i try to rip, i only rip at 2x-6x, wat the heck, I thought it was a 16x dvd? Would any1 like to enlighten me?
 
Very cool, thanx. Free shipping and no tax going to Florida, total was $36.51. Pricewatch prices all had shipping charges over $10!!
 
Damn, I spent $35.xx a few months ago for a Lite-On 52x CD-ROM, and now have a DVD-ROM on the way. Guess the 52x is going in the Girlfriend's computer. HeHe.

Thanks for the link esquared, this is truly a hot deal.


The Ultra DMA 33 performance of these drives is impressive, boot/seek times are excellent and I have never had a problem with any Lite-On drive I have ever owned. I fried a Que DVD drive (Samsung rebadge) by trying to flash the firmware, so this is an excellent and CHEAP replacement for that POS I screwed up. And it was a POS before I killed it.
 
Thanks esquared,

I've always been skeptical of Hell.com posts. Seems so 'fishy'! Always sounding like maybe this model, maybe stackable coupon, may charge tax, YMMV, blah blah, never a sure deal. This one's great! You see the discount in the cart right away.

Got me 2 of these, and a Sandisk SmartMedia 128 for $53 after 10% off. for my recent find Finepix 2300 for around $108.
 
Thanks esquared I needed that drive,bought 2 a couple of months ago at a computer show for $60 each plus tax.
