Thomas 0 Posted February 8, 2006 I like newegg.com. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
securitymonster 0 Posted February 8, 2006 I second that! Newegg rocks all the way around! If I don't shop with Newegg.com, I'm buying from TigerDirect.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CollinR 0 Posted February 8, 2006 Agreed on Newegg and TigerDirect. You can also try Froogle but usually the NE and TD are within a couple of bucks (if not cheaper) and have SOLID reputations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper 0 Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) Yep same places. Global also, which it TigerDirect also I believe. ZipZoomFly is good also. 300GB hard drives are on sale right now I think for $100 after the rebate you never get. At least I never get. Helps to send them in though. Global is the one that has the $99 300GB drives in IDE or SATA right now. http://www.globalcomputer.com/applications/Category/category_hdd.asp?CMP=EMC-GLOBAL&SRCCODE=GLOEM223 Edited February 8, 2006 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kandcorp 0 Posted February 8, 2006 NEWEGG is where I get everything Check out the HDD home page for the deals: http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/Category.asp?Category=15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper 0 Posted February 8, 2006 If your motherboard supports SATA you might want to get an SATA drive and put it in an enclosure. You only need cables that extend from the motherboard to a back plate which makes it eSATA. Then you get your full hard drive speed rather than mounting an IDE externally by USB or FireWire. The Prices on the IDE's are really good though as they are phasing them out as fast as they can to sell more SATA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CollinR 0 Posted February 8, 2006 www.pricewatch.comand www.directron.com (local for me) I don't use pricewatch anymore but I'll vouch for Directron for sure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kandcorp 0 Posted February 8, 2006 Yea, price watch is OK, but you must be careful. There are a lot of refurb products from unknown suppliers. I dont use them anymore. Newegg all the way,, Plus they take PAYPAL and shipping is usually cheap and fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
