Well I have been looking around and have found a couple of good deals first is one everyone should be able to get. Walmart just started carrying, yeah I know Walmart?!!!, the lexmark z11 1200by1200 printer for $59, I have this printer and it has by far better print quality than anything below $200 Photo quality about the same as epson 740 or hp 712c both of which cost over two to three times as much, only down fall one ink cartridge at a time, but black with the color ink isnt too bad.
Second prices on the ricoh 7040a cdrw have dropped around $135 bare and $150 with software, check them out at pricewatch.com but check shipping prices before ordering some of the sites are outrageous, ranged from $35 to $15 for second day ups. I also have this drive and am happy with it, but cant compare it to others as this is the first one for me.
