I am looking to grab 1 or 2 cheap Ex. HDDs. Anything 40gb or above would be good. I also would prefer a name brand HDD.

Thanks.

Try looking at the clearance section at Best buy (These are usualy near the counter, sometimes behind).

The ones near me are switching out old hard drives with new ones, I got my brother a 320 GB one for $60 bucks. Granted, this was around Christmas, but the manager I talk to there says they're going to be doing it for a bit.

From what I understand, the newer models (Western Digital is the brand) have more restrictions on them, so it won't hurt you.
