I was just checking these last week and got the following prices:
J&R Computer World: $100. for a 12x Adonix (I don't know how good that
brand is)
(800)221-8180 180. for a 24x "
CDW: $188. for an 8x Backpack (Microsolutions)
(800)596-4239 219. for a 32x "
Does anyone have any experience with the Adonics? I have the same
dilemma about not wanting to put any more money into an old computer.
Hope this helps,
Sophie
