  It looks like $349 is about the lowest this week.  Two weeks back,
  $329 was the lowest I saw.

  I bought mine from Warehouse 54 (1-800-659-0054) last Thursday.  They
  said it would take 5 to 7 days to ship, but it was sitting on my
  doorstep yesterday morning.

  The only beef I have is the continual false advertising on these
  Quantum units--they do NOT get 12ms access time in my experience. SCSI
  Evaluator clocks mine (internal to an SE/30) at 23ms, the same as the
  Sony 40 meg it replaced.  Ah heck, don't believe the hype.
