    Hi,
    I need about 1,000 CDRs by Tuesday (Don't ask why :rolleyes: ), so I'm guessing I'll need to buy retail to get them by then. Does anyone know which shop will offer me the best deal on bulk purchase?

    Also, will 8cm CD's work in ANY CD player/CD ROM etc that the same info on a 12cm would?

    I also need 1,000 white paper sleeves so any shops that can sort me out?

    Thanks!

    If any of the Irish on-line sellers use couriers you could probably get an order in 1 day.

    I bought some cd cases in person from pcn.ie in Kilmainham a while ago, the address is on the website.

    www.svp.co.uk use a 2 day courier. I bought stuff on a sunday and got it tuesday. they will be far cheaper than any shop here. I reckon you could ring them for a overnight delivery if really needed. and no, not all cd-roms will read a small cd

    just buy them off mediawrite.ie or go into peats. 1000cdrs should be about 150 euro and sleeves about 40euro.

    Well these (the very top ones) are €135 ex vat. Not bad for 1,000. Do you reckon the quality is good enough?

    datasafe are good unless someone writes on the top with a ball point pen then they are coasters. verbatim are much better for reliability as they are coated on top and they have tested them for integrity to an estimated 100years of use but will be double the price roughly. try peats too.
    tdk are also very good.

    The data on the CD's I'm making wont be needed for more than I'd say 1 month from date of burning.

    I suppose cheapest option will do! thanks

    its not really data time on the disc, most cheap cds are damaged by scratching the top of them if u have an old cheap cd lying around attach some sellotape to the top of it and then pull the tape up. with the tape will come the silver foil and all. that is why verbatim and tdk are better. but for cheap applications datasafe are very good.
