    Maxtor 60 Gig Hard Drive $158.99 Shipped From Staples.Com

    Just ordered one, minus the $40 coupon. The Staples folks were exceptionally friendly and helpful! Fantastic! Unfortunately, she had to call the mypc21.com people and they put her on hold for about 20 minutes. She was SOOO mad at them. Then they told her that they were charging $60 for next day...
