Seemed best thread for this... please move if it's not.

If you have an old box to throw a minimal linux on, 2 or more Windows boxes on your network, and only 1 flatbed scanner that you want to use with all the systems, these links may be for you:

Benq is just the new name for Acer...

Thanks.
I was aware of that but due to some rave reviews of burning quality,
I decided to grit my teeth and try them again.

UPDATE:
Needless to say,
I have already gone back to using LG brand...

well thats a shame. i honor you for giving people a second chance. as for me, never- not for these guys at least. too many hours in my early years just going nuts trying to figure out why brand new hardware doesnt work. that, or if it did work i would get the cd out to my car, get nice and pumped to hear the music, only to get skips and jitters the whole way though. pissed me off to no end, it was only soon after that i found places like hardwarecentral to help me find real hardware.

so its samsung and lg then. i can add something else- you know those uber-NEC burners? like the ND3540a's that everyone was dying to get a year and a half ago? they are lame too. both of mine barely burn or play anything anymore. what doesnt even work in my htpc or main pc plays absolutely perfect in my laptop's dvd read only drive and everything i burn with them now barely works at all. very weak burns, and i never buy anything expect tiayo yuden blanks....


edit- uh... a year later i guess?

I avoided the NEC burners due to premature failures.
Dying within a year of purchase...
