I agree that a 320 GB drive is a good idea and you can get one for less 
than $100 after S/H (from NewEgg.com: Western Digital Caviar RE 320GB 3.5" 
SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM, $89.99 + $6.14 S/H).

I'd be willing to pay half of that - $50 - so just tell me when you want 
to do it.

By the way, in terms of GB per dollar, the 750 MB drive is the better 
price at exactly twice the price for the 320 GB drive, and with free 
shipping:

320 GB / $90  = 3.56 GB/dollar
750 GB / $180 = 4.17 GB/dollar

It's too big for our needs, I would think, but if someone is looking for 
an HDD this is the drive on NewEgg.com:  Western Digital Caviar SE16 750GB 
3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM, free shipping!
