119.99 - $50 MIR + tax and postage = really quiet drive for under $1 a gigabyte. retail kit too! only a couple left at austin, don't know if they'll put in more or not, rebate is good until 2/20
 
the retail version is $20 more, so its $89.99 AR.
u can't get the rebate on OEM version thats $20 cheaper cuz theres no UPC.
 
no its the retail kit that is at fry's. maybe its not at outpost for that price. i've got the retail box in my living room and a receipt that says $119.
 
I just picked this up on Sun. at the Manhattan Beach Fry's. They had about 10 of these when I went, but most people were oblivous. Retail box 80gig Barracuda IV for $120 + tax - $50 rebate. $79.90 (or so) after taxes and rebate. Not bad for a fast, quiet drive. Gonna pop it into my TiVo.

Just curious: is this a good idea? I have one of these 'Cudas, and I love it, but they run very hot, and I was under the impression that TiVo boxes probably shouldn't be running hot drives?
 
I've been reading up on using these drives in a TiVo on the AVS Forum. Word is that they work well, no heat problems. Will find out soon, I guess.
 
I'm using this drive right now on my main puter. It's VERY QUIET.
If it wasn't for the HDD LED I wouldn't know it's working.
