The URL was http://www.globalmicro.com/display.asp?C=3&B=IBM

I ordered one, but haven't heard anything yet. . . Hopefully its not going to be like that Best Buy Gforce 4 deal.

They were out of those first thing this morning...

I waited a little to long for that one...

I called their customer service. . . Talked to TJ and he said that they were sold out yesterday (2/12/2) around 3:00pm. He said that they got over 500 orders and were just beginning to sort them out. They must like their jobs, seeing how they have surgeon's hours. They go home before 3pm that's why the deal wasn't pulled from their web page.:heh: Oh well. . . Sure would have been nice to have got in on it. . .

So if I got an order though this morning (8am EST) should I expect an email from them to say it won't show up?

First of all, the hard drives are not 9.5. They are 17mm in size. This will not fit in today's Dell laptops at all and many other laptops as the size is too big to fit. Also, they do not have SSL security on their credit card page. This was indicated in the AT forums. This is certainly not a deal.
