That's not cheap these days.  Quantum 105s (the half-heights, not the
third-heights) are available from APS (a highly regarded mail order
vendor) for under $400 (internal).  They're also advertising a 340Mb
Maxtor for $1100 (3 1/2, half-height, internal).  The HD market has 
been constantly on the move--downward--for six months or so.
