    Default Looking for hardware/software

    So the title pretty much says it all. I'm looking for some cheap tech gear. I need a printer/scanner and I'd like to spend less than $100 for it. I've done some searching online and they come pretty cheap (the lowest I found were only like $60). I'm just not sure how good they are. Does any one have a printer/scanner or know someone that has one that they paid around the same price for? Also I need a scanner far more than I need a printer so if you guys think I could save a lot more by just buying a regular scanner tell me and maybe list some cheap ones I could buy.

    As for the software I looking to buy a bunch of computer programs (photoshop, dreamweaver) and I heard if you buy these in a bundle you can save money. Anyone know about any of these deals? Also I'm looking for a program that lets me take quicktime movies and write them to CD so they can be played on a DVD player.

    Thanks to anyone that can help.

    How about this?

    It's refurbished, but it got good reviews and it's 40 bucks.

    If you're looking to be cheap, then I'd just get the scanner. Inkjet ink is not a cheap thing. That, and every inkjet I've ever owned has turned out to be complete and utter crap in a relatively short period of time. Unless you're prepared to spend a good chunk of change on a very good printer, I wouldn't even bother.

    I can't seem to find any cheap devices that are just scanners. All of the scanner/printer combos I've seen are cheaper than just scanners. I might just go with the one Lupy suggested.
