Good link though, I was looking to get something with a bit more capacity.

Okay, well THOSE prices would have been something special.

Basically a suprise firesale, and everything is back to normal now? Bummer. Not that I NEED a new HDD, my OCZ Agility 3 120GB is still working fine.

Are you ****ing kidding? Stupid email subscription I have with Newegg is worthless if it doesn't notify me of THAT.
