This is my first post!

I called Staples (1-800-3STAPLE) and price matched the deal at www.CompUSA.com (SKU 272571). They had to add in the shipping charges that CompUSA charges, but surprisingly it was only $4.00 for next day AM. The staples product # is 428386. Here's how my deal worked out:

$219.99 Maxtor DiamondPlus 40 40GB 7200RPM ATA/66

$179.99 Pricematch to CompUSA
$ 10.80 State Tax (GA - 6%)
$ 4.00 CompUSA Shipping charge
---------------------------------
$194.79 Total
-$30.00 (30 off 150 coupon)
---------------------------------
$163.73 (I know the math doesn't work out, but that's what the guy at Staples came up with. Maybe he only charged me $3.00 for the Next Day PM shipping that was listed on CompUSA's site.) At any rate, I feel this is a good deal. I have almost ran out of space on my Maxtor 20.4 GB (never thought that would happen) and I can sell it on fleabay for ~$120 ... so, $40 for 20GB and also double my drive space is not a bad deal!!! :D
