Looks as if Micro Center did a buy-out of CompUSA "branded" stuff.

Here's the ad

Pricing and availability are IN-STORE ONLY, and good through 3/20/08.

A couple of deals stand out:
7 dBi High-Gain Antenna, 2 Pack $9.99
20x SATA DVD+R Internal DVD Burner $19.99
PCI 1394 Firewire Card $7.99
Paper CD/DVD Sleeves, 50-Pack, White $1.99
52x CD-R 700MB / 80 Minute, 50-Pack Spindle $3.99
52x CD-R 700MB / 80 Minute, 100-Pack Spindle $7.99

If I lived near a Micro Center I'd be all over that SATA DVDR and the antennas.
 
I was there yesterday (in Rockville), and they had boxes of assorted CompUSA stuff out. The wife and I found it quite amusing.

They're like the Fry's of the east coast. I love 'em.
 
Who makes SATA DVD burner? I guess Samsung? Does anybody know if they are quiet (wouldn't mind buying one for HTPC) and how well they handle poorly balanced discs?
 
20x SATA DVD+R Internal DVD Burner

They still make burners that can only burn +R or -R media or is this a typo?
 
Went to the Cambridge, MA at lunchtime and picked-up a few things. Unfortunately, they didn't have any of the internal SATA DVD burner. They did have external ones with lightscribe for $40.
 
I just got one of the internal SATA DVD burners at the Denver store this morning. Date of manufacture on the outside of the box: November 2007. This one is a rebadged Liteon 20A3 (model DH-20A3S to be exact). It's multiformat (DVD+-R/RW single and dual layer, also DVD-ROM) not DVD+R only like the ad indicated.

:thumbsup: Good info.

I'm debating whether or not a 20 minute drive is worth it. Probably not 🙁
 
The 20-pack of DL DVD+Rs for $10 looks like a good deal, I wish I'd seen it before I ordered the 50-pack from buy.com
 
this is weird! but to be honest I wouldn't put that cheap CUSA PSU in my system no matter how cheap it costs.
 
damn.. closest Microcenter to me is in Philly.. and I'm in Pittsburgh.. guess I won't be getting there anytime soon... actually I think the Cincinatti is closer than Philly, but still won't be near there soon either..

bummer.... 🙁

 
I wonder who actually makes this stuff. Why did that store ever bother to rebadge stuff? It's like Saturn taking Cadillacs and rebadging them.
 
i have a couple of the drives, 22 bux after tax for B@M is just fuckin insane. I can install them later if you guys will tell me what program to use to find out what kind of burners they are?

the Columbus one would be 90 minutes closer than the Cinci one 😛
 
I wonder if these deals will still be available next weekend. I want to make a joint Microcenter/Target run.
 
Saw the email when it came in, will definitely go check out whatever is left of the carcass 😀

Plus tax and the cost of gasoline these days, not worth it. Just wait for a Newegg deal to come along - there's been several with LiteOn and Samsung drives for $28 with free shipping.
 
just went to the St Clara MC, only got myself the cheapy pair of 7dB antenna (RP-TNC for those wondering). For the price, I'll give them a try.
didn't see a single SATA DVD-writer, looks like it had been cleaned out by some greedy bastards.

While I was there, I saw another greedy bastard cleaning up the 100pcs CD-R. Filled the entire shopping cart with a big grin on his face... I'm sure he'd get thousands of dollars from it!

IMO, not worth the trip.
