Geeks.com has a refurbished Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10K RPM Hard Drive on sale for $39.99. Shipping is extra. I don't believe there is a limit on how many you can buy. If you plan to get at least two for RAID, shipping will be more reasonable.
Western Digital Raptor 74GB
Three things to keep in mind:
1) OMG!!! this is a refurbished HD!!! Stay away!!! (Or not).
2) This is an older model.
3) According to Maximum PC, you may be better off with a Seagate 7200.12 1TB drive (and that's potentially another can of worms).

The new 1TB Barracuda?s read and write speeds approach those of the Western Digital Velociraptor.
