I’m not sure if this is the right place… move me if it isn’t but I need a new hard drive…
I’m looking for a 160GB or 200GB for a good price…internal and not SATA
If any one has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated…
Thanks…
If you live close to a Fry’s, they always seem to have the best deals on hard drives (after a rebate). If not, check out Outpost.com. This week they have a Seagate 160GB for $50, after a $40 rebate.http://shop4.outpost.com/product/4008242
http://www.salescircular.com/ Select your state first.
Example:
Circuit City - WDC 160GB $59.99 after rebate
Bestbuy - Hitachi 250GB $119.99 after rebate
Sam’s Wholesale Club has their WD 250 EIDE for $129.99 regular price.
and don’t forget to pricematch at certain stores for an additional 10% off.
with the sales and rebates, some of the prices at the B&M stores are competitive with Newegg. also, when it comes to HDs…you’ll find it much less of a PITA to return/exchange a HD to a store rather than wait for shipping on an RMA.
i bought a 250 gig 8mb wd off pricewatch for $115 shiped i just wanted one w/o the rebate hassle if i had a sams card i would had bought there but dont have one 
heres another deal( i thought…)
a new sata 2 ,if you have the mobo to run at full speed.
