Looks like Outpost.com has best price when factoring in the rebates that are
offered. thanks. Compusa is better but they are out of stock.

No, the *cheapest* place would be ebay. Also the most risky.

Agreed. I have had real good luck with Newegg.com. They are usually the
lowest price or at least among the lowest. I know I have ordered from them
probably 10 times in 2 years without a hitch (and no I don't own stock in
them).

For a very reasonable price they'll also add a year to the manufacturer's
warranty. OTOH, they use the same distributor drop-ship system as
everybody else, so the drives don't get packaged very well--an inch or so
of bubble-wrap typically vs the 3 inches that the manufacturers want on
RMAs.
