Circuit City has a 500 GB seagate drive for $130.. $90 off. I brought the printout in to Best Buy, and they were willing to price match it for me. Great deal on that much space.
Do you have a frys near you? I remember they had 160gig external hdd for $50 stacked in the middle of stores. Also try checking out craigslist. I managed to picked up a used 120gig external hdd for $20
No frys nearby, (St. Paul, MN area) i am going to go try the BestBuy pricematch thing. I don't need 500GB, but for that much i will be a greedy bastard and just buy it .
I'm also a MN native -- If you're close to the Eagan Best Buy, thats where they said they would price match me. Pretty decent staff at that one.. only one I bother going to anymore.
