[mythtv-users] The return of the $20 80GB hard drive

To speed your upgrade I'll even keep a look out for sub $100
250GB drives for you!

Sub $100 200Gb ones aren't too hard to find if you can wait around for
the deals to come up..... I have 3x200Gb and I've not paid more than
$100 after rebate for any of them....

My desktop PC has 2x160Gb, and they've been under $80 after rebate...

Jarod, you are a sick, sick individual.  After seeing your Myth
setup in your "Photos of myth boxes" posting and reading this
post about you having 7x120GB drives and your wanting to
upgrade to 7x250GB drives I realize how insignificant my
Athlon 2000+ w/ 1 80GB drive hooked up to my 20 inch Sony
TV is.  There can be only one response to my exposure to this
information: if it would help you out I'd be willing to take those
7 120GB drives off your hand so you don't get in trouble with
the trash collectors (I'm pretty sure they don't like putting
lots of electronic components in landfills).    ;-)

To speed your upgrade I'll even keep a look out for sub $100
250GB drives for you!
