Another place you might check is onsale (now owned by egghead)...
www.onsale.com or www.egghead.com.

They only take credit card, but it's an auction site, and occasionally
you'll find a GREAT deal there.  The auctions always end within 24 hours
(with rare exception) and it's mostly new/refurb stuff sold by manufacturers
or distributors (i.e. not individuals, like eBay is).  I know someone who
got a 4gb UW2 SCSI HD there for < $100 not too long ago.  If they happen to
have what you're looking for, you may find a great deal there.  They do
really stick you on the shipping, though, so be SURE you know what they're
charging for shipping (it's always explained on the description of the
item), so you don't bid $100 and pay $25 shipping, when you intended to pay
only $100.
