$49 + GST & delivery from QMB for a readonly. $129 for a writer. They say
OEM on the page but they sell them to you without buying a system.

By the way, if you can just temporarily get the loan of a DVD reader to
copy the distro to a hard drive, it's quite easy to create a bootable
SuSE CD with no RPMs on it, that runs the installer but gets all the
RPMs off the hard drive copy.

I have done this myself to do SuSE 9.0 installs on machines with no DVD
readers.
