hey guys, i didn't know you were cognizant that staples.com has a huge (17 pages worth) of special order hard drives. some real high quality IBM 10000rpm Ultra160 SCSI hard drives in particular. very overpriced (at least 30% over pricewatch), but here is the link:

http://www.staples.com/Catalog/Browse/class.asp?PageType=3&ClassID=141119

because they are special order, don't let them stick you with a overnight shipping charge--they all ship 3-5 days from ingram-micro or other distributors--when you price match. of course, use a coupon after you price match. enjoy!

here is an example of a deal you could score:

IBM UltraStar 36LZX: 36.7GB 10000rpm Ultra160
link to staples: http://www.staples.com/Catalog/Browse/sku.asp?PageType=1&Sku=IM1433084 for $589
link to drivedeals.com: http://www.drivedeals.com/productlist.asp?subtitle=(by|IBM)&classid=1&mfgid=8 for $421
<edit>gogocity has it for $412 + $12.62 shipping:http://www.gogocity.com//product_details.asp?dept%5Fid=211&amp;pf%5Fid=CO02HDD0268
use a $40 coupon, but they may add $9.30 or more for ground shipping. add sales tax (if applicable). still under $400 and from staples.
