I went down to Office Max today to pick up the Cendyne 16x Burner advertised on the OM website. When I got there, they told me it was an online special only, but I could order it online, and pick it up in the store. Bummed out, I made my way to the exit, but not before stopping to check out the clearance rack. Well, to my suprise, there was a Hi-Val 16x40x DVD drive there for $55. I asked the manager if it had been returned, and he said no, that it had been discontinued. I took it to the register, and it came up as $120, but then there was some rebate in the computer, and it showed up as $55. Curious, I went to the store shelf with all the DVD drives, and looked if there were any left there. There were still about 3 left, so I took one up to the register. It also came up as $55. So this must be a store wide thing. I am not sure how many are left on the mainland (I live in Hawaii) but I figured that you all might want to give it a try. Good luck. Let me know if you need me to scan the receipt. I would have tonight, but I am having trouble getting my Visioneer drivers to work with XP.

I hope it is!!! I've been looking for a DVD Drive for a long time w/o mail in rebates. Alas, my patience may have paid off with this deal! Thanks for the post!

Where? Sorry, your link is dead. I tried looking in their clearance section, but they don't have any listed for Hawaii. And it isn't in the normal listings anymore either.

Sorry PCPhreak I didn't read your post correctly, yours is a Hi-Val and I thought it was the Cendyne
Do you know the original OEM manufacturer of your drive? (e.g. Lite-On, Pioneer etc.)

OM currently has a Cendyne 16X/40X DVD-ROM on sale for $59.99, SKU#20148190
Combine it w/ the Veo Stingray Cam combo plus the $25 off $100 Coupon, you can get this DVD-ROM for $35

$59.99 (DVDROM) + $39.98 (Cam) + Paper Clips to make it >$100
$100 - $25 Coupon - $40 MIR = $35 + Tax for the DVD-ROM
