Very good prices IMO, they beat TD at prices on card readers [ http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1348627&CatId=962 ] and Canadasys at prices on enclosures [ http://www.milestonepc.com/canada/product_info.php?cPath=124_257&products_id=478 ].
Anyone to comment on quality of these? Better deals?

it's been mentioned by willy here (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3634140&postcount=4) in the Seagate HD thread... but i guess this is worthy of it's own thread....


the $15 deal on the LT kb/m combo.... http://www.cty.ca/details.asp?pid=1569

the KB looks awfully similar to the LT media KB

I can't figure out if the card reader is USB2.0 or usb1. If it's usb2, Im buying.


Looks like it is usb 2 indeed http://www.foxconnchannel.com/Product/CardReader_detail.aspx?ID=en-us0000002 :twisted:

How good is this 'Cypress' chipset found on the 5.25" enclosure?

It is the Logitech Media Keyboard. Which means PS2 only.

Ive heard nothing but good things about them. Though, Im sure they won't take stuff back just becuase you don't like it the way FS would

I personally prefer PS2 over USB for KB/Mouse. I will contantly get hiccup and delay on them if I connect them through USB

The HP Media DVD-R 16Xsounds good for $13.99 for 50.

Pm Opportunities.

FYI, those have been as cheap as $10 at BB once a while back....

if they're CMC disks, they're likely better than the $10/100pk Vakoss discs
