kill-9 Individual Rights Absolutist Joined Sep 2001 Posts 2143 EE Offline OH, USA	Posted: 3/15/2005 5:57:15 AM EST I need a new internal hard drive. For you IT guys out there, what's the best deal going right now? This one from Buy.com caught my eye, but I thought I'd pose it here before buying: www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10333236&loc=101&hdwt=30401&sp=1
