The drive I posted is now under £65 delivered. Scan do a 400Gb internal IDE one for £50.51 delivered (with the free delivery option).

Does it have to be an internal drive? You can get an external one for not very much more. G

That's £8 more than the cheapest :rolleyes: - 'looking for the cheapestplace', but to be fair the OP also did say, 'Any more for any more?' G

It's not even the cheapest place for that drive (see converse's post above). I ordered one of these on Sunday from Dabs - it was free delivery over the weekend. Just waiting for it to arrive along with a few other bits and bobs to bring my PC up to scratch

:huh: £64.62 delivered is not cheaper?! Click on the link now (see post #5 where I mentioned that it had dropped). G

LOL thanks for all the help so far. I still havenot bought one yet due to cash shortage. No it doesnt HAVE to be internal. As long as its not too unreliable and fairly cheap then that will suffice.
