For those of you who burn your own DSL CDs on 50MB business-card CDRs, where do you purchase them? I see lots of vendors on the web selling stacks of 100, usually in the $50 range with shipping. Does anyone know of a vendor selling these in smaller quantities, particularly the "rounded" ones which are compatible with tray-load drives?

CompUSA stores will sell you them in 25 packs at a reasonable price if there is one located near you.

I get mine from the local CD-duplication shop.

They buy in bulk so the CDs are cheap and you can buy as many as you need (even if that's only one or two

)

Grim: Thanks. I had seen that thread (and probably should have added to it rather than started a new one). Good to know your recommendations, although I believe they all have minimum quantities of 100.

Cbagger & Monkeymind: Good ideas!

any good places on the web for the uk? 50MB CD-R of course?

My place here (not the states) selles mini CDs for about 1US$ 50 each

gekkokid, I used to get mine from Maplins till they stopped
selling the 50Mb versions for some unknown reason. The
last lot I got from "JetMedia", via the web, instead (almost
exactly a quid each including postage and VAT). They'll do
small lots though, like 10 etc, and I received them no
trouble but should point out I only got 19 instead of the 20
I ordered.....

In Norway we must import BC CD-R from for instance Great Britain. It's cind of booring to burn out DSL on a 650 CD-R

I 've never seen them in the shops here in the UK, but then I've never looked hard

In Norway and Sweden (and probably in Finland and Denmark as well) you can get them from Clas Ohlson (www.clasohlson.no).
