I agree don't do business with them.  Here is my story.  Two
years ago I bought a NEC  3x cd-rom drive from them because they
had the best price ($379.00).  Well, the drive has never worked
right and I've always had problems installing any software from
the the drive.  Recently, I heard that it might need some kind of
firmware upgrade.  I called NEC and was told that the drive was
an OEM drive and they could not work on it since they didn't have
any tech specs on it.  NEC said that my model was produced for
Dell or Gateway or some other PC maker.  And if I sent it to them
for repair they  would have to return it to me.

NEC told me to call the company I bought it from to get it worked
on.  I called DCD and they said they couldn't do any work on the
drive either.  I told DCD that I didn't know that it was an OEM
drive and that fact was never stated on my receipt.  DCD said the
best they could do was give me the phone number of the company
they bought them from.

I called the number they gave me and got a recording saying that
number was no longer in service.  Now I'm stuck with a drive that
doesn't work and had to buy another one.

DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THEM....
