I just called a few places for prices on a Conner CP3104 with a AT kit.  
Here are the prices that I got:

Hard Drives International:        $529
Dirt Cheap Drives:                $499
Hokkins Systemation, Inc. (HSI):  $430

Has anyone dealt with HSI before?  They are based in San Jose.  DC Drives 
wouldn't touch that price with a 10 foot pole.  Is it too good to be true?  
I called them back a second time to make sure.  This time I spoke to 
someone else and they quoted me $474.  I told her that someone had quoted 
me $430 just 30 minutes ago.  She went to check and said: yes, that was my 
boss that you spoke to.  I can give it to you for $430.

Comments anyone?
