Looking for 100GB or 120GB drives for upgrades!

Hey all.

I just purchased three SA TiVos off of eBay...they're going to loaned out to friends and family, so they can stop looking at me funny when I gush about TiVo.

I'm going to upgrade the drives by replacing the A's completely with 100 or 120GB drives, and I'm looking for a reliable source. I don't want to use 60's or 80's...I want 100+ hours on each one with the option to add a second drive as a simple drop-in later.

The best price I've found so far is $110 for a 100GB drive at tigerdirect.com...it's a good price, but I'd rather have 120's, and I'd rather pay $1 per GB tops. Does anyone know where I can beat this? And preferably without rebates, since I want three and don't want to have to recruit friends to receive checks for me.

Thanks, everyone!

I've tried both pricewatch and pricegrabber, as well as staples, officemax, office depot, newegg, amazon, tigerdirect, fry's, best buy, circuit city, and compusa. I only looked as far as I knew to, though...maybe I missed something in terms of special unadvertised deals or (ugh) rebates.

There's a cheap ($103) 100GB drive on pricegrabber, but the seller is new and the website is sorta shady-looking.

Shoulda picked up more of those 120GB's from Circuit City. Even without the rebate, $130 was still a good deal.
