In the OfficeMax rebate catalog there are rebates for both models until 
1.25.03. So the 105 is a net $220 ($50 off the regular price of $270). 
I don't know about the instant part. Sean may be right about that part. 
105 box has Gold and Maroon Art. The words Internal, Recorder, 
DVD-R/RW, 4x DVD Burning, Capture, Burn, Watch, Share are all in Maroon 
(dark RED). The words CenDyne and DVD are in Gold.

the "Internal 4x IDE DVD-R/RW Drive for PC (model# CDICD00209)" is the 
last item on the coupon. At the bottom of the list.

The 2x 104 $50 rebate is at the top of the list of items on the same 
coupon:
"Internal IDE DVD-R-RW Drive (Model# CDICD00106)"
