when best buy does things like that it's a loss leader to get you in the store and they only have a couple of them to sell at that price /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif You have to line up as the store opens to get one.

Hopefully though, this might not be... for that price I'd love to upgrade the aging 40 gig that runs my little house server here. I'll definitely drive by.

thanks Raggie.

I'm not so sure about that...

Just last month, I bought an 80 GB Western Digital HD from Micro Center for $30 after 2 rebates. They had a huge stack of them on display.

Cool, Gary, thanks for the heads up. Now, we'll be at my parents in Fla. how am I going to get that 42" plasma and Kenmore dryer back home?

yeah my freind said tehy have a stack of em.

one problem with drives over 137gigs.... older systems may not be able to use the full capacity and/or have problems with them due to the onboard bios limitation of older ata adapters.
be sure your computer can use this drive properly before buying, or you may be taking it back quickly.

Yup, true, I had to buy a PCI hard drive controller for my 160gig until I later on switched mb's.
