Woot! has a WD 250 Gig. hard drive for $70 bucks. It is only EIDE not SATA, so I'm not sure it is that great of a deal, but still 70 bones for 250 Gigs is a pretty good deal.

FYI they are 2 MB cache, and Refurbished, so *shrug*

also Fry's has WD 250GB 8MB cache for 69.99 after MIR

they also have

Seagate 300GB 8MB cache for 79.99 after MIR

All are IDE, and the Fry's are 1 per household

No way I'm picking up an HDD with only 90 day warranty when its a refurb. They die enough when they're brand new, let alone refurbished.

BTW, if you watch different companies, they usually put large rebates on new HDDs.
