About three to four dollars a gig sounds more right here for new HDs,
depending on brand, seek time, etc.  Also there is a bios problem on drives
larger then 32G or 36G (I forget which offhand).  XP, and I'd assume other
MS releases, cannot partition HDs greater then 60G.  A local MS guru
brought a 120G drive over to my cousin's to partition for him.  They used a
Linux utility CD I made for him to accomplish this.  Beats me if XP could
handle it longterm but they did manage to get it installed and booting once
Linux had created partitions that XP could deal with.

The best deal I am aware of is a 40G Maxtor for $125 Canadian.
