I'm looking to buy a cheap external USB dvd-rw drive.

Thanks
Thats cheap for the case.
just a blank 5.25" case in the PC stores here in town sell for over 50.00.
I'm looking on that site now to see what shipping is to Canada.They show they ship to Canada.Just have to find the price....
EDIT: just found the shipping charge to canada for that 14.98 case. It's ...USPS for $38.00 or FedX for $60.00.

Thats a bit much.....

Seems like it cost me almost $10.00 to get it to North Carolina
$15.00 into Canada doesnt seem that far fetched?
Or did I miss something?
