I'm looking for an additional hard drive, probably a Seagate 160 SCSI. Has anyone tried this place:

[url]www.provantage.com[/url]

They have a pretty good selection; much better than Micro Warehouse. Any place else I should look at?

BTW, when are we getting a computer geek forum?

Lately, I have been using www.mwave.com

Can you use IDE instead of SCSI? Best Buy has a Western Digital 120G 7200rpm drive for $299 with a mail in $100 gift card so net cost is around $199.

Check out Micro Warehouse's reason for buying a fast SCSI hard drive:

I didn't know a fast hard drive resulted in "super-fast Internet searches" and "amazingly quick downloads". This is news to me. Jeez...
