Seagate 400GB UATA HDD $189.99 AR @ Outpost

Hell, that's the best non-refurb price you can find for *any* 400GB drive BEFORE the rebate!

PriceGrabber

Too bad I jumped on the recent Monarch 320GB deal. I want more SATA than EIDE these days anyway.

Could you quote the prices you're noting when you post? Did the prices change in a few hours? The outpost deal is $190 AR for a ST3400832A-RK, and neither pricegrabber nor RTPE beats that...

From your RTPE link at 12pm EDT:

product - Seagate ATA100 400GB 7200RPM 8MB Barracuda 7200.8
ST3400832A $249.00 + $8.00 s&h
MWave

product - Seagate SATA 400GB 8MB 7200RPM Barracuda 7200.8
ST3400832AS $255.00 shipped
Monarch Computer


From SUOrangeman's pricegrabber link:

Barracuda ST3400832AS 400GB Hard Drive (Serial ATA-150, 7200 RPM, 8MB)
Seagate - ST3400832AS
from $255.00

Barracuda 7200.8 400GB Hard Drive (Ultra ATA-100, 7200 RPM, 8MB)
Seagate - ST3400832A

Kristopher, good stuff. Is there anyway to segment the RSS feed into sub-categories? Say, CPUs get there own sub group, hard drives to themselves, etc.? Having all of the items in the feed in one list (at least, in Firefox), makes for interesting times when scrolling.

crimson, prices can change daily in the Internet age, so perceived price differences are likely a result of some source not being updated with the latest, greatest info. KK's post was more likely intended to show/use the in-house Real-Time Pricing Engine (which I check daily) versus services like PriceGrabber. I still hold on to PriceGrabber and PriceWatch, because soe vendor is likely to use a different label or even some mispelling for a particular product. I think the RPTE is a bit more rigid/accurate in the product labels, but it may miss some cheaper prices once in a blue moon.
