other than ebay and doing a froogle search anyone see any great HD specials lately, either on the web, or via a compusa. preferabled 2-3 hundred gigs, 7200 or beter rpm's, etc. this windows media center (DVR) is really sucking up my HD space, need some additional gig's soon. Thanks.
http://shop2.outpost.com/product/4280824 not exactly insane though Make sure you keep record of the rebate. They did not pay mine about 6 months ago. Seagate asked me to send the rebate again, I told them to keep the $40 bucks rebate n shove it up.... I stop buying Seagate HD since.
If you are in the west coast I say keep your eye in FRY's Electronics, I just saw a 200 GB Western Digital for $40.00 bucks (after rebate â I know I hate rebates too), The best day to buy is THURSDAY's they have a ONE DAY SALE that have some unique prices, and Fridayâs sales go on for five days. These sales show-up on theSan Jose Mercury Newspaper (http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/) they had a AMD 4800 X 2 processor and mother board for $499.00!. If you are not in the bay area, then have a friend or call Fry's. Their OUTPOST prices do not matches the newspapers sales. That is about the only advantage of been in this area, because everything else is extremely expensive.
I agree, you simply cannot beat some of Fry's deals. They've got plenty of them in the Dallas area too.

Among Office Depot's weekend specials is a 100GB Maxtor drive (yeah, not one of the huge ones) for $100 with $80 in rebates ==> $20. This deal is still good through Saturday, 10/1. The box that arrived had a "20GB Bonus" sticker and contained a 120GB drive. Lessee.... 17 cents/GB, sigh... a trader's work is never done, gotta keep correcting those mispricings in the market(s).
