Kinda off topic, but I just have to half-laugh and half-sigh-in-disgust.
$750 for a 17GB hard drive.  $44/GB.  Used.

Seagate 250GB ATA-100: $80, or $0.32/GB.  New.

OK, not fair.  How about a similarly sized Maxtor 18GB Ultra-320 SCSI 15K
for $75, or $4.16/GB.  New.

Or a similarly priced Fujitsu 300GB Ultra-320 SCSI 10K for $760, or
$2.53/GB.  New.

Yeah, yeah, different electronics, proprietary yada yada.  Whatever you come
up with, it's still a helluva markup.
