Shoot... I've been resisting this offer since it came out; I almost caved this morning but by the time I checked it the drive was back up to $220...

Now I have even more to pay off my credit card. At least I have a use for the space.

p.s. mine came out to $191 after tax and (free) ground shipping. 11 PM CDT.

Put the drive in your cart and see if it's still $180, Paul.

Even after I realized the problem, the original link still said $179.99.

That was my problem. Outpost Customer Service asked me when I bought it, but didn't comment on a time limit. They adjusted the price and I'm happy now.

They might do so again for somebody, based on the existence of the original link.

I just wish there weren't a "One per household" limit or I'd get another.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

I'm GLAD there's a one per household limit, or I'd REALLY be racking up the credit card debt!
My "ideal" is to have one in my G4, one in my external FW case, and one in an external FW case at work...


One is enough for now.
When 750-800 Gb PATA drives come around (if they ever do), for $180, I'll buy one of those...

I want to put a 750 in my d2 case and iMac G5.

And I'd like to get a couple more 500s for the MDD.

Does anybody make a "brickless" 3.5" FW enclosure? I'd like that for moving from Mac to Mac.

It was $179 a moment ago--I just bought one.
An excellent deal, considering that the other places I usually
buy drives from were charging over $260 for this model.

Thanks for posting about it.

Remember when Outpost was da bomb, just a few years back?

I miss their TV commercials....

"we're going to shoot this gerbil out of a cannon until our sales numbers improve"...
OR some such....

I also remember when great deals like this happened a LOT at Outpost.com...

Alas, not so much any more.

Damn. I'm jonesin' for another.


I loved that Outpost/gerbil commercial. I really liked the follow-up open letter that explained to animal rights people that real gerbils were *not* used in the commercials.

They were stunt hamsters.

I bought my old smurf G3 Mac from Outpost.com, c. 1999.
Ah, the memories...

Outpost was my weapon of choice back in 1999-2000. I remember ordering an internal Zip drive for my then-new Gigabit Ethernet G4 at maybe 7:30PM one night, and they still got it out the door and to my office the next day.

It was all over when Fry's bought 'em, with the occasional great hard drive deal being the only thing bringing me back.

What is PATA? Is that what my DP G5 has or what my old G4 has?

Chopper

What your old G4 has, aka Parallel ATA.

Now it's up to $209. :::sigh:: Two days in a row I've missed it.

Hmm... it must be the guys on the evening shift.. but not the night shift... offering this deal...

They've also got a Maxtor 500GB SATA drive going for $189.

Wish I could get, like, six of the 400GB $99 jobs that sold out last week, though...

Mine was delivered today.
