I haven't been there in awhile, but "Telectronics" is still at 80th & Santa Fe. Run by a nice Korean Family, they do a two page ad in "ComputerUser" and they always have inexpensive things such as $20 CDROM drives.

Note that should you have any problems with items purchased there, the ability to speak Korean is essential - no-one who speaks English will be available. They make their living on price and price alone, quality is no object.

And should you find an English speaking person, you will be accused of having configured something wrong, regardless how expert you may be. At least that has been my experience and others also. So as long as you never need to have customer support they have great prices.

Well that explains why I have such fond memories of them, I've never needed any customer support. But then I dislike talking to people, so I avoid customer support until something is on fire.

Of course it has been a long time since I've shopped there, having found other sources where price is comparable, or from NewEgg.com.
