Blimey, how cheap do you want, they're only £50 !!

Tight git Nearly as bad as me

I've got a Philips 2x SCSI one (with card) somewhere, not 100% if it still works tough, been out of use for about 2 years. Mail me if you're interested

Guys, did not realise they were that cheap!!
Any suggestions where to shop then!
Would these be good enough to record VCD pictures on?
FYI want to send video of my children to my sister in Canada, just so as you don't think I am off doing something strange!!!!
Cheers,
Chris
DJ-- mail coming to you.

Thumbs up

www.ebuyer.com have 4x write Philips CDRW at £19.60 +VAT no software

or BTC Burnproof CDRW 40x write at £31.80.

I've used the BTC one before with no probs, I think it ships with Nero5.
