    250GB WD for $99.00 after rebate.

    Circuit City

    Went to copy my SuSE 9.3 Pro CD's onto my FTP and discovered I was out of space! So I was shopping around for HDs and came across this at Gotapex.com.

    Thanks for the tip! I may buy one of these puppies--one of my HDs in my gaming rig is on the verge of crapping out, I fear, and since I only suspect it's my 30 gig C: drive, I may put one of these in as a single drive and take my 60 gig D: drive down to my "media center/storage" PC.

    Thanks for the posting. If only it wasn't at Circus Shitty, I'd be all over it. (I was burned once by them and am doing a one-man boycott)

    I don't mind CC, at least not like Best Buy. First off, the 'engineer' who came up with their new checkout schemes ought to first be stripped of any academic degree he/she has earned, secondly be banned for life from doing any kind of logistics or traffic management, and thirdly, be locked in a room and forced to listen to Ashley Simpson over and over and over and over until they repent.

    The only problem I have with CC is their 'shop online, pick it up on the way home'. Well, I've done that 3 or 4 times and it would have been MUCH easier to just walk in, pick up the item, and pay. With the pick up in store, the line is generally much longer, and the cashiers seem to move much slower as it takes them like 10 minutes to enter all the information into the register, check your ID, etc etc.

    Well, nothing is as bad as Fry's. The only higher the most retarded, third-world rejects that INS has that day.

    I love BestBuy. Haven't had much luck at CC. I usually find better prices and better selection at BestBuy. They seemed to have streamlined their check-out area a bit at our local store.

    Best Buy rules if you know what you need.
    The CC that we have up here sucks cause it's setup like a K-mart electronics department. It's damn near impossible to find anything in there.

    Just don't try and use a $2 bill at Best Buy.

    My favorite part of shopping at Best Buy is when I tell the customers looking at video cards, sound carts, etc that they can save money by buying at newegg.com. =)

    Here's a good buy for those who (like me) are on a budget:Caviar 120GB, 7200RPM - $40

    I'm probably going to end up with one of these on my way home after work.

    I can't believe the prices on the HD's. I am not much of a fan of the WD HD's I have had more than a few crash on me in the past. Myself I am a big fan of Maxtor I have been using them the last 6 years and they take a beating and keep on ticking.

    The sound is all about the wood and the pickups. Bartolini all the time...
