I was just looking at it and the previous poster is correct, you can find hard drives fairly cheap at online stores. when I built my machine, I got all my stuff at newegg. just out of curiousity, I decided to compare some prices on hard drives:

or...
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDe ... 203&depa=1
okay, I'll give you the fact that newegg's is OEM and not retail.. but still... saving 26 (shipping included) is an awesome deal and if for some reason you need an ata cable, that 26 dollars you saved won't go to waste

bottom line is I think bestbuy is the nazi regime of all things computers and if you give it a little bit of effort, you can find things way cheaper then what they advertise. of course, you don't get any rebates.. but saving 20 dollars or so without a rebate, without having to make deadlines, without having to wait.. who could pass that up?
Black dragon, from darkness to darkness, my voice echoes in the emptiness. White dragon, from this world to the next, my voice cries with life. Red dragon, from darkness to darkness I shout, beneath my feet, all is made firm. Blue dragon, time that flows, hold in your course. Green dragon, because by fate, even the gods are cast down, weep ye all with me.
