    Save up.

    However you may want to steer away from a 40 gig drive itself as those are becoming more rare and the price gets higher for those drives. I've seen brand new 10gig drives higher than newer 100gig!

    Computer shops are your best bet if you cannot find one on eBay or Pricewatch.

    I've gotten a lot of hardware through tigerdirect.com

    There are drives there for less than $60

    Here is a 160gb @7200rpm for 54.99, no rebates to mess with:
    http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1487618

    If you can front the cash, there are some even better deals with rebates, but that's up to you. I am eager to scrap the cash together for a 250gb ide drive myself. I want to have premium storage options for my XBox; so that I can put all my music on it.
