DAMMIT
Getting a hard drive bigger than 300gb for $0.40 per GB is a good deal.

But, getting it for $0.48 (now that the MIR is dead) is starting to get a little less hot. Nice find OP, but I missed it :(

I think I'm gonna ask monarch guy for a rebate on big HDDs for his rebate madness sale :)

[Ezekial]

ahh shit....
I just spend like $250 yesteray on stuff, but I need 2 of these for my home network :D

now the the rebate is gone, I am going to pass and wait.... it's not critical needing these yet...

thanks for the post though :)

Very good find! That's hard for me to pass up, but I think I will.

[amd ati FO SHO]
