    Not bad. I jumped on a 160GB Intel X-25M a couple days ago. Should be arriving soon :)

    $150.00 for an intel would be downright awesome. A fair price would be about $190-200 since Intel is supposed to be the best.

    Im holding out for the 160GB G2 to have a good deal, like slaughterhouse I want more than 80gb. 80gb is more than enough for OS/Programs and one or two games. But 160GB is enough for me to have a handfull of games and even use it for a temp directory for photoshop work and stuff until I am done with the files then I can transfer them to the 2nd HDD.

    Id maybe be ok with a 120GB drive from another company but the drive has to be a really good deal like $2.00 per GB like the 60GB agility is on sale for right now.
