At the moment Scott thinks that there aren't many Linux users buying Intrex computers and parts !!! As for the DVD prices, Compusa not only has the cheapest blank DVD's all the time, they regularly have great sales on the Compusa brand usually at holidays. Moreover, I have had problems burning DVD-R's in my Panasonic machine. When I sent it off to Panasonic to be repaired, they informed me that the quality of DVD's varies wildly. They even sent me a list of their experiences with various brands of DVD's. They said that they have constantly had problems with Memorex disks more than any other brand. They recommended Fuji and Compusa at the top of their list. ---al Johnson
=================================
very expensive, but at the moment blank DVDs actually on sale (have been for a week or two). Right on the front page (http://www.intrex.net/) - 10 packs - Buy two get one free. I actually heard a rumor today though, that some people have had reliability / coaster issues with them, and since I'm rather stocked for DVD-Rs at the moment I have yet to purchase any. Anyone else have any practical experience to share?
Just to be fair, I poked CompUSA's website real quick to compare prices. The best deal I could find was on unknown or CompUSA brand DVD-Rs in pack sizes from 25 to 50 which were approximately $1 a piece (same basic price as at Intrex). Note that those were 1x discs, not 4x discs. The ones we have at Intrex I'm fairly sure are KHypermedia or some other off-brand, but are 4x as opposed to 1x, and at the same cost. Is there some in-store special or particular bundle deal from CompUSA that I'm overlooking?

On the other hand, Intrex has extremely expensive blank DVD's while Compusa has the cheapest. The biggest mistake most shoppers make is assuming that just because a store is the cheapest on product X that they must be the cheapest on product Y. Just about every store has it's loss leaders and products priced sky-high. Anything you need to obtain at the lowest price needs to be compared in every store that sells it. -- Al Johnson.

Retailers need to compete with online competition and get their act
together. Example Compusa. I needed a plain power cable for a PC.
Price at CompUSA $19.99. Price at Intrex $1.50. Give me a break there
is no explanation between the two prices. If anything Compusa should
be cheaper. I can take a markup for convienence but that is a little
excessive.
