    I first saw this on the SD site. Looks like they are having different Gold Box Deals today all pertaining to upgrading your system:

    6AM PDT: "More memory for your on-the-go computing needs"
    10AM PDT: "Fast memory or lots of memory for your PC? Why not have both?"
    2PM PDT: "Run Windows side-by-side with Mac OS X without rebooting"
    4PM PDT: "Boost your PC's graphics performance without breaking the bank."
    7PM PDT: "Make sure all your PC upgrades have sufficient power"
    9PM PDT: "Give your laptop a boost in capacity and speed."

    Looks like at 9PM PDT we will see another 7200RPM 2.5" HDD deal. Too bad I will be sleeping by then. Hope it's a good one.

    unfortunately, the HDD deal isn't that great, so you're not missing anything special :)

    Western Digital Scorpio Blue 400GB 5400RPM for $70

    Wow that sucks. How is that an upgrade in speed? Amazon needs to get a clue.

    Lol most of the computers on Amazon are over priced, the only ones that are cheap are the ones that just came out or havent been out for long.
