    Thanks Cin, that's an awesome deal.
    Also, I used the code to order another WD5000BEVT and it worked with no problems. You saved me $9. :D

    ....... I NEED TO GET TO THE BANK... To deposit the money I have in Cash.

    I should have enough money to buy a HDD if I go to the bank before 6/24. And I was planning on buying one from Newegg. Hopefully I'll be able to use this.

    Thanks 'Cin. xD
