I checked out Bizrate and found the following offerings at this link: http://shop.bizrate.com/buy/products__cat_id--438,keyword--74%20minute%20CD-R.html A 150 pack without jewel cases and a five pack with jewel cases. I've also recently bought Verbatim DataLifePlus using what they call "AZO Blue Technology" which claims 100 year life and low error rates on a variety of burners. Of course, this all remains to be seen. I'm sure you can find them, too, by doing a Google search.
