I second Komplett. Delivery can be painful, but the prices are good.

They usually have a class hard drive in their special offers so you could wait for that.

Get yourself a Western Digital WD1200 special edition 8meg cache 7200rpm UDMA100 hard drive.

I have two.
Last time I checked they were €114.
