it seems pretty cheap to me. Thought someone might want to get a find like that. I am thinking about getting one to add to the gigs on my box even though 20 is more than I need ATM.

Here's another place that's pretty damn close to that price, but all their hard drives are cheap.

I am paying $240NZ for a Maxtor 540DX-4D 40GB ATA100 12m/s 2MB cache, that is the cheapest I have seen them in NZ, is that amazingly cheap or just normal.

/edit Just looked at the same HD on that site and it is $74US, I suppose that this is a downside to living in NZ, we don't get cheap hardware.

for sale by creedawg Maxtor 40 gb ata 133 $70
