COMEX 2006!!

Its here again, another electronics fair. I have faithfully been to every electronics fair since god knows when. But frankly, i do enjoy going to these fairs. Not that i like the unbelievable crowd, but somehow i just enjoy looking at all those fantastic electronic stuffs which i cant own for one reason or another. Anyway, here are my buys at COMEX 2006.......


LG GSA-H10N




I have been looking for a dvd writer since i found out that my cr*p*y TDK 1612 is giving me very bad burns which none of the dvd drives can read. So after some research, i decided to get the LG one. Actually, there werent many booth selling dvd writers at COMEX, so after walking around a bit, i found a booth selling the LG writer cheaper than another booth that was selling it. So its now siiting in my com =)



Initially when i installed the writer, it gave me a bit of mayhem. My computer crashed when i first tried to run it. After some warm up, i burned a disc and i have to say im impressed. The drive is also relatively quiet when it is running.




Fujifilm 16x DVD+R



Well one of the things i always look out for are the dvds. The price of DVDs have dropped tremendously over the years. Now its affordable to get the 16x dvds so i went looking for a cake box of it. I was thinking between Mitsubishi (with the MCC dye) or the Taiyo Yunden. I could not find TY dvds and Mitsubishi only come in a cake box of 50, which is overkill for me. In the end settled for the Fujifilm cakebox of 25 at $16. Same price as what Z-Nix is selling in SLS but since im here, just get it lor. The DVDs are coated with Prodisc dye but i have not tested their quality yet.
