I am looking for a deal on a fairly large capacity Hard Disk (at least 60GB). Using pricegrabber I found the Diamondmax 60GB drive for $237 plus $7 shipping at Compgeeks.

Now, I understand that buy.com has free shipping for orders above $50. Can I tell them to price match it with compgeeks so I will get it for $237 shipped at buy.com.

Also, I know that buy.com has $30 off $150 coupon. Can I use that along with it? I know on the coupon it says you can't use the coupon with a pricematch. Anyone find a workaround?

Also, anyone no where I can get a cheap UDMA66 controller. My mobo only supports UDMA33. THe cheapest I could find was at Onvia for $22. Is it reasonable? Thanks for all your help.

Also, in these price search engines, I only found IBM and maxtor but I know Quantum and WD make these high capacity drives as well. Anyone see any good prices on those instead?

As far as I know, BUY.COM will pricematch anyone, but the trick is you have to buy the product first, then fill out the pricematch form afterwards. About the coupon, you won't be able to use it to lower the pricematched price (at least legally ;p).
