    If you're in the US, I suggest Newegg.

    Look for an ATA IDE hard drive. Ultra ATA will work as well. Try to get either Western Digital or Seagate. Preferably Seagate.

    Since you have a X2.6CE, you don't have to worry too much about whether it locks or not since mod chips allow the Xbox to run with an unlocked hard drive. Unless of course you plan on disabling the chip for XBL or some other reason.

    I have no idea where you'd get a good deal on one in the UK.
