300GB HDD + USB2.0 ATA133 enclosure w/ fan + Internet Security Suite

$190 - $40 (1st rebate for software) - $30 (2nd rebate for software) - $50 (for HDD) = $70 + shipping (+ tax for FL, IL, and NC residents... boo!)

It's not a ready made HDD but a do it yourselfer. You get the enclosure and HDD-- all you do is remove some screws on the encolsure and plug two things from the enclosure to the HDD, and screw the enclosure back shut. Then plug it in to your computer via a USB2.0 cable (included) and Win XP should recognize it.

It's cake! If you're worried about quality or durability, the HDD is an OEM with 3 years warrenty and the external enclosure comes with a 1 year warrenty. Seagate is a known HDD brand and is quite reliable, IMO. I've used Ultra products before and it's not the best but for the price, they can't be beaten.

One helluva deal, but why can't CA residents get in on the fun?

I think he's saying that only FL, IL, and NC residents have to pay tax. Right?

Yes, that's correct. I'll clearify that.

Did I miss something? Because I ordered one for myself.

Just don't count on those rebates until they are in hand.

Just an update, I got all three of my rebates. I did the 'No Delay Rebate' which took a couple of bucks off each rebate's amount. I ended up getting $105 instead of $120 but I got the rebates within 5 business days of them receving my stuff-- so 8 business days after I sent them out. (it took about 13 days total if you include Memorial Day weekend).

I'm not sure what the issue with TD rebates were in the past but I have a 300GB HDD and an external enclosure w/fan for $85.:-P
