Try http://www.newegg.com, they have the best prices on good drives i''ve seen.
They also have free shipping on most stuff.
As for the drive itself i'd recommend a 60 or 80gb Western digiatal JB model drive.

Tigerdirect? How much was shipping? $20? You can't buy anything from tigerdirect because the shipping is too much. They have a deal at office max that comes around 80gb western digital 7200 rpm 8mb buffer for $20 after rebate. That's the shit.

I said I wouldn't fill a 40GB when I had my 20GB one, but since I installed my 123GB drive I am now using around 80GB of it. So much more 'freedom' with a bigger drive, you don't have to conserve space as much.

I also said i wouldn't fill my primary 60GB drive... but then i did.
So i bought a new 80GB, thinking i'd never fill that up... but of course i was wrong.
A secondary D:\ hard drive is extremely useful when it comes to formatting your C:\ though. No need to backup all your stuff to CD.
A few years back, i never thought i'd fill up my 3.2GB drive. Back then all you had saved were office documents, small images and a few websites. Just shows how things change with all the space intensive digital media we have today.
If i were you, i'd plan ahead and get one at least twice the size that you think you need.
If you want some decent answers to your question, tell us what part of the world you come from.

Shipping was only $11.70 us for UPS ground, took 3 days to arrive. And the shipping was for the hard drive, a chieftec super tower case, powersupply, MB and CPU.
Don't take their default 2nd day air UPS, ground is just as fast and a whole lot cheaper.
And even with the shipping, what I spent overall was close to $100 cheaper than anywhere else I found.

i reside in the states. personally...i have the capability to keep my space usage low. i have about 7GB left of my 9.48 possible and have downloaded files like mad. so a 20gb would be plenty...but i don't want to have to limit myself with that in case i do need more.
