| 120 WD HD - $39.99 after Rebates |

The 120 is working fine for me so far! :) Fedora 4 is up and running (dual boot with Windows XP on the other drive using Grub). And there's still ~90 gig available. And if I run out of room, well I just get more drives. This server can handle quite a bit if I need it to. There's a raid controller in it that can also act as a normal IDE controller and there's also a SATA controller as well. So I can use this beast to heat the entire upstairs (j/k, but it does make the one room a little warmer) while I sit downstairs in the cooler air working from the ol' laptop. |

We call my server a "coat warmer" in the winter time. It lives in the coat closet, and bumps the temp i the closet up a good 12-20 degrees. It's got a total of 10 hard drives in it.... 8 of them on a RAID 5 controller card. Sorry for the brief detour.... back to cheap HDs. |

The price for this drive (after rebates) is $69.99 --- End quote --- www.dealsea.com had a $10 instant coupon code too making it $59.99. |

Watch these sites for good deals: www.dealsea.com www.dealuniversity.com www.techbargains.com good deals on drives often... |

btw, I did this about 9 months ago last time the deal came around. And I got my rebates about 3 or 4 months later. So even though its a little slow, its still worth it. And the drive works great! I might have to buy another one. |
