BUSLink 48x12x48 internal EIDE/ATAPI CD-RW drive: $29.99 after MIR

Memorex 50-pack 80-minute 52x(?) CD-R discs: $4.99 after MIR
(The ad said 52x, but I didn't know Memorex had started labeling their discs with a 52x rating yet. Check and see what is in your local store. These may be the new 52x CMC discs.)

Western Digital Special Edition 200 GByte 7200 RPM Ultra ATA/100 hard drive: $199.99 after MIR HOT
(This is the special edition version with the 8 MByte cache and three-year warranty. This beats Best Buy's offering by $30. I believe this offer also includes the bundled Promise Technology Ultra ATA/100 card, but please verify at your local store to be sure.)

And finally, for your listening pleasure:

Logitech Z560 4.1 THX certified speakers: $149.99 after instant savings
(These have been sold for ~$105 in the past, but this is still a reasonably good price for highly recommended speakers. And you don't have to deal with the MIR hassle. )

Best Buy is also selling the BUSlink 48x12x48 CD-RW drive for $29.99 after MIR as an un-advertised closeout(?) special:

Personally I would try to get it at Best Buy first. CompUSA has a bad reputation for refusing to honor rebates, and has personally screwed me in the past. Best Buy, on the other hand, has never given me any hassles over rebates.

The same thing applies to the TDK drive, except substitute "Circuit City" for "Best Buy":
