Well, probably the best kind of cheap hard drive that you'll find is one that you
"roll your own"...  In other words, shop around for a case and power supply (I got
one that had three 1/2 height bays and a real good power supply for about $80 --
an exceptional price at that, but there were maybe 10 left at the time and out of
production), get yourself a SCSI card (if you're at a university with one o' those
Apple (read as: Mac) discounts, try to haggle your local rep down from the $129 that
Apple (Mac) lists it for), cables, and a bare SCSI hard drive (I got an 80 meg
5.25" 1/2 height for about $380)
