I use ebay usually.  There recently have been quite a lot of Barracuda 4gig
drives (narrow, maybe Ultra, but all I know for sure is that it is narrow)
in the $20 to $25 range.  The one I bought it working fairly well.  When I
get the spare cash I want to buy another 4-8 (I want 4 to build an array for
one machine, and could use some spares and upgrades to other machines).

I try to look for drives that are refurbished, clearance, etc, rather than
used.
