Yeah, I saw that only a few hours *after* I placed my order with monarch. And I live only 25 miles away from zipzoomfly(and used to work right next door. Our offices shared a wall.)

How does this compare to the Pioneer DVR-109?
I'd prefer NON-NEC fanboy reponses
Ive always had and used Pioneer burners and currently thave the 109 and 108..they burn everything I throw at it and have no regrets...Pioneer is my preference howvever my friend has the NEC and he has had no problems with it.
lol, so insteadd Rossman gets a response from a Pioneer fanboy
Ross - Get either one, you will be happy with the NEC or the Pioneer.
Actually I already bought the Pioneer DVR-109 but later discovered it's a little picky on the media. I just might buy both for the hell of it
The NEC 3540 is a great drive.
I've been using the NEC 3520 for half a year. And with my new machine, I got the 3540 - these drives are really quite bulletproof, and I haven't even gotten a bad CD or DVD out of them.
Not too noisy either, compared to the likes of LiteOn for example.

Describe "Not too Noisy"? I bought this it is kinda noisy. I have an old CD drive that came with my dell, and it is relatively quiet. Kind of disappointed. Strange this is, my other CD-RW drive is kinda noisy too. Maybe CD/DVD burners are noisy.
this is a great deal. despite the fact that i just bought a lite-on dvd-rom/cd-rw, i'm going to replace it with this and now i'll have two dvd-rws
thanks for the heads-up OP. I was about to buy the Pioneer for $51.
Am I the only one who wishes Pioneer still made slot-loaders? I've had one for 6 years and its been pretty good to me, and not having to deal with a tray is convenient.

they've already charged for it, but I shot them an email. we'll see? I think I'm SOL, but oh well, still less than 50 for a quality drive.
Well u gotta decide whether a dollar is gonna hold you back... me? I needed to get three 160GB drives cleaned out cause I had zero space left. Ah anime..... how I love thee...
Funny, my slot-loading Pioneer dvd-rom is the only component I've kept bringing over into new systems since I bought it about 4-5 years ago (I think it was around 90 bucks). I even went throught the trouble of painting the face black so it matches my new system.
I'm equally mystified why slot loaders are no longer around. I'd gladly pay 20-30 dollars extra for that smooth slot loading feeling you now aparently can only get from a Mac.
Thanks OP! totally forget to get one in my initial system build...oh well, only my 3rd seperate order from the egg in 2 weeks!
That freakin burns me up. I literally had it in my cart at 41.99 and was shopping for other items (took about an hour while I was reading reviews, etc.) . Once I checked out, I noticed that the price had jumped up to $46.99 while it was still in my cart!
I've sent an email to Newegg requesting either a refund of the $5 or the cancellation of my entire order ($180 worth of equipment). It may seem petty to quibble over $5, but I think that's an extremely deceptive business tactic to raise the price of an item in a customer's cart (I can see if it's a cart that you've had stored for a day or so, but an HOUR???). I used to use Newegg for my purchasing, but if they won't honor their own price, I guess I'll have to find a better site.
***Here's the resolution***
Here's a snippet of the response.
While I'm glad they'll refund me the $5, anyone else think it's funny that their "From" name looks like it spells "whine"? Extreme coincidence, or subtle message from their network admins, I wonder. Makes me think of the ID-10-T error that can happen with certain people. Oh well, deal is back to being warm as of now.
