Yea, you can get 20 GB drives for maybe $80 or so and for another $10 (make
it $90 to $100) you can double that and get a 40 BG drive.  For $160 you
should be able to get a 80-100 GB 7200 rpm 2 mb cache UDMA 133 drive.

Try www.pricewatch.com for one idea.  Frys which has been mentioned and is
locally available to some of us (got one not far from me) does not have a
Web site.  At least they didn't.

Buying something from your "local independent computer shop" is about as
wise (from a value standpoint) as buying computer systems from Best Buy.
Ouch, I'm liable to get shot at for that one.....
