just thought this might be helpful... but you can manage to get maxtor 80g
7200rpm drives from staples, after coupons and rebates for about $20...
even $10 if you add some other items that are free after rebate and use a
different coupon.

not advocating any retailer here... but i thought this tidbit might be
useful for some... if they require a drive.
