I will tell you what not to buy: HP CD Writer Plus. I've had all kind of trouble with the drive and with the software (Adaptec).

Go to techbargains.com and pick up a nice coupon from Buy.com (30 off 150 expires TODAY by the way) then, find the Plextor 8x4x32x ide drive for 187 last I looked. That solves your writer needs.
You might consider the Visioneer 6400 scanner in the clearance section at Buy.com as well. It' at 99.xx and has a landscape layout. My experience with Visioneer has been good and the paperport software is excellent. I currently have an Epson 636u which is also a nice unit, but a bit higher.

Yes I'm trying to find a good Cdrw and a scanner at a combine price of 300 dollars.
I hear plextor are good i think i saw one for around 199.Their going to use it for your basic stuff music and backingup.
This is for a freind also need a good decent scanner. Any suggestion would be helpful.

Either online or at a store. Probably store be easier.

Has to be combine total of 300 dollars or less.Thanks i appreciate your help.

Underclocked, dang why didn't I think of that name. lol.

$300 bucks is a kinda low ceiling.

I have bought 2 HP scanners in the last month for others. Both cost around $90. One was Parallel (Win95/98) and the other USB (Win98). Both parties are very happy with them.

I own a Yamaha 4416 SCSI CDRW, and would recommend Yamaha, though you won't get the above for $200. Check and see if they offer and IDE burners.

You can use www.pricewatch.com (http://www.pricewatch.com) to find the best prices for computer products and they even list by brand name.
