    I am looking to upgrade from a floppy to a cdrw/dvd drive, the drives are easy to find, but I'm having more trouble getting a caddy at a reasonable price

    I offered him $16 each for the last two. I also have 20 coming from another seller... The guy who is selling them for $23 each... I told CF-XXX about it and he bought the guy out! The seller relisted another 20... I think he said he has 250+ left in stock.

    (Yes... The thought crossed my mind! I still have the disease.)

    ohlip, thanks seriously, way cool of you to pass that on, i'd dug around ebay quite a bit but somehow I missed that listing, I feel kind of bad now because your the one that told me about it and you didn't even get one

    random curiosity, does anyone know how I'm supposed to turn on my PMs, the faq just said my profile had to get "activated" I think, which I thought it already had

    Rick! I also dealt with that guy three months ago, He wants me to buy as many as I want but I only need four at that time and I get it for 20buck but again the problem was he sent the item via UPS( it sucks). Lol

    TB, do you still have any of the cf-28 cd caddys?
    seems you might have enough inventory to start your own TB store, and you might, I just have not found it yet if you do, I am looking at the different b/s/t posts for parts, just still kinda new here. got a cf-28 last year, and am slowly tricking it out. Got a bluescreen last wk and still not recovered from that :( hence the search for a cd caddy
