I think the deal he's trying to tell us about is this:
Purchase these 2 hard drives from Staples:
> 40GB Hard Drive (428386) $99.98 ? $20.00MIR = $79.98
> 60GB Hard Drive (448145) $109.98 ? $20.00MIR = $89.98
They total right at $200. Apply the $50 off $200 coupon (I believe there's one out there?). Total comes to:
$200 - $50 coupon - $40 MIR = $110
EDIT: I found a problem with this deal. If you look at the Maxtor rebate form it mentions that you can only receive one rebate check per household. So it looks like it's $130 after rebate for both drives. Starting to get fairly cold.
