those are raw spindles or 50 or 100 consumers want CDRs in jewel cases, know nothing. cheapest CRDs they have in jewel cases are $10 for 5, or $28 for 16, pretty bad pricing. Walk into any Staples and you'll see how much these things are suppose to cost. Stores like CompUSA need reliable compelling reasons for people to walk in. I buy computer related products for a living, and the only reason I can see so far to walking in is to see items on display, and buy them elsewhere, or to send newbies there with money that I don't have the time to hand hold. If CPU always had the cheapest consumable, or game or notebooks, or anything, I'd always find myself returning, and buying other things. Now the only reason I even bother walking in there is because it's down the block from my favorite video rental store...
