[UkimOOse]

This is the best deal I've found so far on a black floppy disk drive:

Anyone find something better?

CompUSA has 40pk of Memorex floppy disks for FREE after MIR

Edit: Oops, my bad. I thought he was talking about the floppy disks, sorry
Anyway, those black floppy disks are good for the black floppy drive

Why not just take the little plastic faceplate thing on your normal floppy and paint it black? j/k.

stso - I believe the OP was talking about a floppy drive and not floppy disks.

Computer Geeks has one for under $13.00 http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=205-3235B

Offtopic, but with Overstock's $15 coupon available on their main page and free shipping, the following looked like possibly warm deals:

Description OS.com Pricewatch
Iomega Clik! PC Card Drive $56.77 $ 49
Iomega Digital Clik! Drive $59.99 $65
Portable 24x CD-ROM Drive for Notebook $112.17 $ 99

This looks like a good price for a comforter considering shipping is free and subtracting the $15:
White Goose Down 240-tc Comforter (King) $79.96

There's a company selling brand new 2.88MB black IBM 3.5" drives on eB-y (dutch) for $1.99 each.

Here is a link:

[Dameon]

Directron has some for $16 and some bezel for other drives for $10.

shadowfaX, right on! A few months back I built a box in a black rackmount case here at work but didn't have a black floppy available. However, I did have a beige floppy and a black Sharpie permanent ink marker. It was the kind with a wide tip on one end for broad strokes of color, and a fine tip on the other for getting into tight spots. Worked like a charm! Unless you looked VERY closely, you'd never notice.

Hey guys,

I am currently using the black TEAC drive from comp geeks. I use a big black Fong Kai case, and this looks and works great in it!

I reccomend the geeks, they have always been great to me after 3 years. Plus teac is great, my stereo from them is awesome still after 7 years.

Overstock prices are typically pretty blah...There's an occasional
nugget, but the whole can be described as a little bit of oh-wow and a heckalotta uh-huh.

And when they toss out free shipping, as they're doing shortly,
it'll be a lotmorea uga-bugga.

Kwad, I can't find those words in the dictionary

 

[HONKER24]
