I buy 10 blank TDK CDR's for $30 at Costco locally. You can get cheaper
prices if you buy larger quantities from mail order places and the like.
Good CD Burners are definately in the $300 range. You can get a Hewlett
Packard 6x read 2x write burner for $340 or so. The small computer stores
here sell them at that prce. 4x burners are available around here in the
$500-600 range. A 70 min/650 MB Cd can be burned in 30 min with a 2x burner
and in 15 min with a 4x. Check Computer Shopper magazine which has ads for
places that sell in these price ranges.
