Title: Good places to buy hardware
Post by: KoS.Rebel on October 10, 2004, 01:36:46 pm
Being that my cd/dvd drive just went AWOL, do you guys know of any places that sell good mac hardware for cheap? Ive found a couple of PC places but they dont carry much mac stuff.

yeah owc is great, I also use Clubmac.com and a few other online mac stores.. most online mac stores are also pc stores.. and alot of the pc drives will work with the macs if you have the right connection to them and they are supported.. There is a page on apple.com that list all the drives that the latest os update supports.

Absolutly - Internal HD's, CD Burners, DVD drives... most ATA drives etc are or can be compatable with Macs as long as you set them up right! :)

www.pricegrabber.com

check the price of your hardware, enter your zip for shipping charges, and whatever the cheaper is, go for it.
