Just out of curiosity I went to newegg and started browsing their listings, thinking I may want to pick 1-2 things up for the holidays to add to my setup.
Right now a WD Caviar Blue HD (500GB, 7200RPM) is $150
Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Blue WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
I swear to god I bought this EXACT SAME hard drive in in February 2010 (Feb 25th to be exact) for $55.99. There was no super sale on it at the time... it was just the regular competitive price. I can show you the receipt.
Do NOT buy any computer hardware until these prices go down. That's 3 times the amount it was last year. Computer hardware is supposed to depreciate in value lol not increase at the end of the year.
Tis NOT the seaon. Just a warning to those planning to build their own system.
