CompUSA.com had 250 GB Western Digital's on sale for $59.95 after rebate 
just last week.
That's only $10 more for a new drive. TigerDirect had Seagate's for $10 
more than that (no rebate).
Refurbs always make me leary. Of course, in less important systems 
that's a good price and that's what
backups are for. :-)
