clgerow · 29-06-2006

CompuVest.com has the 16x BenQ DVD-ROM IDE Internal Black 1650V on sale for $14.25 plus S&H.

Anyone had any dealings with this company.

Shows only 15 left in stock so better order quickly if interested.

Just finished ordering the beige. S&H a little high but not outrageous. Total out the door was $24.53.

Now we'll see what happens from here and I'll keep everyone updated.

Considering how cheap dvd recorders are these days, I don't pay much attention to dvd-rom prices. Is this actually that good of a deal?

*ghetocowboy* · 29-06-2006

What is the condition of the drive??? For that price, I am kinda skeptical. Might be refurbished. And never heard of this eRetailer before

*HenryNettles* · 29-06-2006

I think OneSickPup is the only one so far who caught that this is for a DVD-ROM, not a DVDR. Who really wants a DVD-ROM (read only drive) in this day and age?

*reasonsnotrules* · 29-06-2006

umm yeah guys...this is the 1650V not the DW 1650.

this is a read only ROM drive, not a burner.

it's about going price for a ROM...I don't think you'll get much cheaper than that, then again the DW 1650 has been seen on sale at sites like newegg for about $35 -$40 or so shipped so if you ask my opinion, unless you have a specific reason for going with the DVD-ROM then I'd recommend spending the extra few bucks for burning functionality as well..

*ghetocowboy* · 29-06-2006

good marketing strategy,hahaha, I did not even noticed it is a reader only. At least a few folks got sucked in. Such low price is a red flag.
