I just got a deal of the year...

#1 Post by SaberX » Sat Apr 28, 2007 7:25 pm

I needed a hard drive for a 570E i have here.
I bought a used 60 gig hard drive here in town for $40.00cdn.Tryed to install XP Pro on it and the drive was gone,it was DOA when i got it home.
So i called the guy i got it from and he was best kind about it.
So i drove the 15 mins back to him for money back.
All was good.
I asked him if he had any other drives that i realy needed to pick one up.
I must have got him at the right time because i gave min back the DOA 60 gig drive(40.00 value) and gave him an extra $40.00 and he gave me a brand new fujitsu 80gig/5400rpm/8mb drive.Still in factory sealed bag.ALSO he gave me a DVD-RW drive from a Toshiba laptop.It is a LG 8X dvd burner for my problems with the first 60 gig and the drive back to him.
So for a total of $80.00 CDN i have a new 80gig hard drive and a dvd burner. :D
Heres a link to the burner i have...I'm very happy....And just thought i share.....

A DVD burner and 80gig hdd for only $80 is more than a treat.

Congratulations.
