Yes these are from Taiwan but for under $2 who cares. I have an Liteon 52x32x52 CD-RW which i haven't installed yet in my Dell P3 500 but figured might as well buy the disc. Could not find any from Japan no matter which store i looked in down here in FL. Well anyone got some info on how to install the cd-rw in a dell computer? Not to long ago I installed a new Maxtor 80 gigHD to replace the failing IBM one and this also has 1 dvd player & one zip drive and 1 floppy.oh yeah ATA 33 control card.

installing a cd-rw drive in a dell shouldn't be any different from any other computer, except trying to get the case apart

I just bought these and they turn out to be CMC
(according to Nero). Oh well, 2 bucks

P.S.: The rebate is through Staples, who have usually
been reliable and relatively quick in my experiences.

something we do at our company that I don't know if anyone else does:

online rebate submission, your doing all the filing yourself, so usually my rebates come in like a month or less

Hey hoxlund.
I have a question for you that maybe you can check with someone in Staples, since you work there.

It seems a lot of Black Friday Staples rebates did NOT mention
anything (either online at staplesrebates.com or on the rebate form that prints at the register) about sending in the UPC code.

I have been doing rebates for a while now, and this
is the first time that so many rebates don't list the UPC code as a requirement.
In fact, I have submitted quite a good number of rebates over the past few years, and I have just about ALWAYS been asked to include either the original UPC or a copy thereof.

Is not requiring a UPC (or even a copy thereof) a new policy for Staples funded (NOT manufacturer) rebates, or is it a major omission on someone's part ?

I submitted a copy of the UPC, even though this was not listed as a requirement.



Thanks!

Office Max does something fairly similar.

yeah more and more for staples rebates, its not requiring you to send in upc, no idea why, but just doesn't ask

but if you get any rebates at all, make sure you do the online submission if its available for the item

Actually, this is almost universal. Only BB is holding out. But, yes - it definitely speeds things up.

I must add that I did two Staples TDK rebates a few months ago (DVD burner and CD-R spindle). The rebate checks arrived about 18 days after I mailed in the materials. That is by far the fastest rebate I have ever gotten. I was stunned!

well airtommy, all i ask is that you keep coming back to us for business, also just keep in mind, if you buy an item online or in our competitors store; come back to our store for the replacement or service plan
