  There was some trouble emailing this so I just posted instead. -MT

Ben,
  I recently purchased a 535MB 3.5" Maxtor drive that has been refurbished
and cost me $1066US.  It is a half height drive and came in a very nice looking
(black) full height housing.  Included in the housing is the power supply.

  The place I got it from is  Corporate Systems Center (408) 737-7312 in
Sunnyvale, Ca.

  One downfall was that they only had white SCSI2-SCSI1 cables so I ordered
mine from NeXTConnection for $35US.  BTW-  CSC was charging $60US.

  Give these people a call and ask for their latest price list.  They carry
quite a few drives and other storage devices at very reasonable prices.

See ya!
-Mark
