[quote name='zebbers']if its only temp, grab a spare harddrive you have lying around and buy a usb case for it :)[/quote]

I've done that twice, both time resulting in constant issues. Save the headache, PCs are headache enough.
 
i appreciate everyones help on this ive made a number of mistakes with electronics in the past some im doing my best to plan this out .
 
OfficeMax - Simpletech 40GB external $79.99

Best Buy - Seagate 160GB external $89.99

For anybody who has the money, Best Buy is also selling a Western Digital 500GB External for $199.99.
 
I'm not sure really what brands to go with but I got a Seagate 160GB for around $70 after rebates so don't pay more than that. I've seen a few deals have been mentioned on here, but they seem too expensive. Though those 250GB ones seem like good deals.
 
[quote name='h2dk']Grab this from Office Depot. 100GB, $99 before $50 mail-in-rebate[/QUOTE]

Am I missing the rebate on this page? I used the link but only found the $109 item ($10 higher than expected already). Is that deal over perhaps?

I'm looking to get my sister an external HD.
 
the amazon deal for the 250GBs is over btw. back to $156, just when i discovered it, wanted to push the button but held for a few hours, didnt kno it was that much of a savings. :whistle2:(

You can always ask me for what is posted in the weekly ad (Target / Circuit City / Best Buy) and I'd be more than willing to give you an advanced heads up.

The Circuit City ad I posted this morning has an HP 160 HD for $149.99, a Simple Tech 160 HD for 129.99 BEFORE $60 in rebates and a case for an internal to make it external for $30 before $10 rebate and a couple of Western Digital internal drives to go in that case for $99.99 with $60 rebate (160 GB) or another for $109.99 with $50 rebate (250 GB).


Just reach out and I'll be willing to assist.

Being in the computer industry myself, I do like Strell's solution.

See my answer or request to help below.
 
The amazon $99 250 gig harddrive has gone in and out of stock a few times the last 2 days. You might want to keep checking to see if it goes back in stock.......
 
I have a 500GB My Book on EBAY. Check the Auction Forums for it....you should be able to get it for around $200 I would assume. Plus it looks cool ;)
