Maxtor 250 GB HD $159.99 at CompUSA

After $50 INSTANT rebate.

$0.64 per gig is pretty good for a hard drive of that size. You can find some big ones on pricewatch for around $0.62 per gig, but thats from tiny online retailers with 100% negative feedback and those are mostly refurbished drives which they sell as "new" hence the neg. feedback.

They have free shipping, or you can select to pick it up at the store.

Also forgot to mention it was ATA 133.
7200 rpm and 8 mb buffer.

I went to pick it up and they tried to sell it to me for $202.95. They said the $50 instant rebate was already applied. I made them get a manager and said the internet said it was $159.99 and they eventually gave it to me at that price.

Morons. I'm so glad I quit working at a CrapUSA 5 years ago to go to college.

Ordered! And penny shipping on top of it? Costs more in gas just to start the vehicle and go pick it up. Great Post!
