got my new dell 5100 and i need a 2nd hard-drive. anyone have suggestions as to which one i should get...as well as any coupons/rebates that may go with it?

looking for:

- serial ATA
- 120-160gb (or more if it's cheap enough)
- at least 7200rpm, 8mb cache
- looking to spend ~$80 if possible.

any help is appreciated...and will be rewarded with a long, sensual hug.

Right now (for about the next 7 hours or so) you can get a factor refurb. WD 250GB SATA drive for $85 (plus shipping) here (http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=WD2500JD-R).
