Well then your comparison isn't really fair.. Sure, a brand new hard drive
from a retail outlet is more expensive than a 10-year-old box (especially
if the box is refurbished). No surprise there! I thought we were
comparing oranges and oranges. In that case, check out www.geeks.com (the
old computergeeks), they have a number of drives for sale under $49.95.

Try http://www.pcretro.com/. Their current special is the Dell
PowerEdge 6350 (dual CPU, 255MB ram, 2 9GB hot swap drives on separate
controllers) for $49.95. The boxes I bought had a mouse and keyboard
included, no monitor or speakers. Not that I cared - I tossed the
mouse and keyboard on the spare parts pile and plugged them into a
KVM.
