    Make sure its WD / Seagate (at least you will have a 3 - 5 year warrantee if it breaks)

    You won't get a new 250GB drive for that kind of money. If you pay a little more (97 euros) you can get a new 200GB maxtor diamondmax from komplett.ie though.

    Theres nearly no margin on hard disks.

    You won't find one site more than 10% less than the average.

    Nope. You can get enclosure for about €50 in Maplins and a 250gb drive in Aldi for 125. IT direct have a few enclosures and HD for prices not much more than you'll find on the web. In fact I find IT direct the cheapest retail place in Dublin. When they have stock of course. Might call in there later.
