    Where does everyone buy their blank media from?
    I found a brilliant place once but i cant remember what it was called.

    It's time to stock up again :naughty: i could do with a hundred or so, fairly good quality. I got some verbatim datalife plus once and they were lovely. cost about £45 for 100 in jewel cases.

    Can't you make it to a computer fair?

    100 Infiniti = £12

    100 cases = £15

    i've got some overprints. My girlfriend got me some from someone at work. Theyre ok, they seem to take pretty much everything i chuck at them but damn, they are ugly :eeek:

    looking round svp i'm even ,more impressed than before. I was looking around for a dvd player that can play different media and theyve got one for £50. Also got a pioneer 4X DVD-R burner for about £120. Might get one of them too.
    The Ritek DVD-R discs are looking like a good buy as well. Not the cheapest at £1.25 each but they look good quality.

    Yeah, between me and my mates we've got 400 of em. Of the 100 I got, a couple were badly scratched, another 5 were dirty (but would probably be ok after cleaning). The rest burnt perfectly at 24x, no coasters :cooldude: If you look carefully at it, you could see the original label, mine were mostly Verbatim and memorex. Amazing value for money. Only problem is writing on them!

    Yeah i found those disks to be mainly Memorex ones, i don't use them (Datasafe Blue Dye all the way!) but a mate had 100 of them at a LAN and he borrowed them from someone else who hates Memorex cd-rs :D i wish i could've seen the look on his face when my mate told him he had been using Memorex cds for months! :rock:

    Well now lets see ....

    The 48x Plextor CD-Rs from www.ebuyer.com are excellent at around 26p a disc. You can only buy in 300 bulk quantity though, but well worth it.

    www.121cdr.co.uk are a fantastic company and I have used them many times to get CD-Rs, currently I am using the 48x Taiyo Yuden discs from there. Have bought Datasafe in large quantities from there before.

    I used www.cd-rmedia.co.uk recently for some 40x Verbatim discs, no problems with the company, but the discs were a bit suspect.

    If you want to find more companies you can always run a search through www.google.co.uk for what you want, such as (where N is a burn speed number)

    Memorex Nx
    Taiyo Yuden Nx
    Plextor Nx
    Infiniti Nx
    Verbatim Nx
    TDK Nx
    BenQ Nx
    Datasafe Nx
    Datawrite Nx
    Traxdata Nx
    "Zero Defex" Nx
    Imation Nx
    Prodisc Nx

    etc...

    for those of us across the pond http://www.cdrecordable.com comes highly recommended. I haven't ordered from them yet, but I will shortly. We go through a load of CDRs with the photo business.
