I know a lot of you guys have gotten cheap drives for your folding rigs. I have a lot of parts on the way for a new rig, but if I can find a cheap hardrive I'd rather save the money since its only going to be used for folding. So any suggestions as to were I can get one would be appreciated.

its nice when your brother works for seagate.

i don't know man i have a ton of parts laying arround folders might want. i could really use stuff like a cd burner or a 250 meg internal zip drive for school. but i dont think allan wants us to talk about that stuff here.

in about a month from now i'll have a ton of stuff to get rid of.

16 meg graphics card, 2 cpus, 300watt psu, 56k winmodem, 28.8 winmodem, delta 38 fan, 6 gig drive, maybe a 13 gig drive, about 4 mouses, a set of altec lansing speakers, i think i'm gonna replace my sound card too. i tossed my old case about a month ago since i really didnt want to pay to ship it to anyone.

damn i have a lot of junk. i probably have more if i look arround.

You might want to check and see if there is a pawn shop that might have computer parts lying around too. That's how I found parts for the previous box. The prices were cheaper there than just about anywhere else that I've found. Of course you have no idea what kind of condition that stuff is in but the shop I went to guaranteed the stuff for a week.
