    a 320 GB HD can go as low as 49. and a HD enclosure case can cost less than $10

    I was looking for a memory stick on ebay and accidentally bumped into 80 gig external HDD for $10. It took a week for it to arrive from China or something but it works just fine. Biggest bargain ever. Try ebay :)
