I had a similar experience as Adam with Dirt Cheap Drives and Megahaus,
and I ended up buying a Fujitsu 1G drive (faster version than the one
advertised for $199 by Dirt Cheap Drives) for $209.99 + $3.70 shipping
from Internet Shopping Network (http://www.internet.net).
Since most mail order companies (including those two I mentioned) charge
around $15 for shipping and handling, it usually is cheaper to buy a
HDD from ISN (and they never tell you the price went up).
I highly recommend that you check their WWW site.
