At the moment, CompUSA has a special (through May 31) on Maxtor Ultra 
160GB (7200rpm, 8mb cache, by all reports and excellent drive) for 
$169.99. There's a $70 mail-in rebate available, which if the gods 
smile on you and you actually receive it (ha!), knocks the price down 
to $99.99.

Even the $170 is a very good deal, so for me the mail-in rebate (damn 
Congress should really do something about those) is just icing on the 
cake. I haven't seen a cheaper price-per-GB around.

For future reference, dealmac.com is a great place to look for stuff 
like this.
