I've seen several 4 packs go for prices ranging from $57 to $78 from a
Harrisburg company (who disallow local pickup which is a pain for
me). I want to buy a pack, but I need to at least wait till my next
paycheck. I plan to throw 2 into my 511, and then perhaps 1 each into
some compaq DLT cases, either that or the other 2 into another 2 bay
case.  We shall see. Unfortunately, all my cases are narrow, and these
are wide drives.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2029076001 is one
such auction.
