Recommendations for CD/DVD replication services?

Didn't know where else to post this, so... I author a data CD-ROM project that we distribute each year. About 15,000 discs per year. For the past several years we've been using DiscMakers, but they are a bit more expensive than other vendors out there. Looking for experiences and...

hot samsung 64gb SLC sata ssd $172 ,less hot 32gb $129

Mine has been shipped from Geeks and tracking shows it as having left Memphis on schedule for delivery tomorrow (3/11). All in all the fulfillment time is quite acceptable. After reading that the newly-released OCZ Vertex SSDs suffer from the same long-term performance degradation that the...

hot samsung 64gb SLC sata ssd $172 ,less hot 32gb $129

Excellent, thanks! In for 1. I've been wanting to play with an SLC SSD for a while now, but they simply haven't been cost effective. I've seen firsthand the long-term slowdown that the Intel X25-M goes through, so this will make an interesting comparison...

dell outlet

I swear by Dell refurbs. You have to watch the model and the timing though, because depending on the model you sometimes get as good a deal on new units with coupons; this is especially true of the consumer lines (Dimension, Inspriron, XPS). Also it really depends on the configuration. On the...

Which luggable to get?

Gettin' me a lapt....err... brick. Weight, mobility, and battery life are less of a concern to me than horsepower, screen size and quality, and upgradeability. I'll be taking it to and from my office, but not daily. Uses will be heavy Adobe CS, folding, some gaming albeit not a major concern...

Gaming 6.6LBS Laptop $1289

What concerns me more is that there were reports that the ones coming from NewEgg were Dothan CPUs, not Banias, whereas the one listed at Buy.com explicitly states 1MB cache, which would indicate Banias, correct? If I bought one and it turned out to be Banias, I'd be pissed... -Dan

System Build Problem...Haalp!

I'm going [censored] nuts! This is a clean install of Windows, so there are no previous app installs, documents, etc. that the system is trying to access. The CDROM shows up in the boot sequence and I can boot from CDROM. It's only when it gets to Windows that it goes AWOL. I have uninstalled...
