Seagate 320gb Sata II 16mb Perpendicular 3gb/s 89.99 @ newegg Free Shipping

If you are even remotely worried about data recovery costs then setup a RAID (redundant array of INEXPENSIVE drives, hey word there is INEXPENSIVE, the whole point is to mirror/array your data so you will never need a data recovery service).... In my opinion data recovery is not a sign of...

Seagate 320gb Sata II 16mb Perpendicular 3gb/s 89.99 @ newegg Free Shipping

Nice find! I'm in for 1, buddy just got 2...I love it when a deal from a reputable store on a 5-yr warranty quality drive beats the cheapest no-name-store and 90day-1yr warranty white label drive off pricewatch... :)

Seagate 300gb SATA/16mb RETAIL $89.99 shipped free

Not to be a downer, but you're pretty much wrong on this. RAID 1 is mirroring, and mirroring can be done at anytime whether you're using a hardware based mirroring (where the mirroring is totally seperate from the OS, so the OS only sees one drive and has no idea what it really there) or...

midland FRS Radios with 7 mile range 29.90 Free Shipping

$99 is pretty good I think, although you aren't getting a real 'professional' grade tool. I'm sure they aren't bad, but I wouldn't consider it a replacement to a DeWalt or Milwaukee one. However both of those are going to set you back around $250 and that's for a 18volt drill, so for $99 this...
