[rescue] WANTED: Older IDE/ATA/PATA 500gb drives

[Lionel Peterson]

Try seller Txcess on eBay - they seem to have an in to Dell's surplus.  
They offer 40 and 80 Gig IDE drive (NOS) for very reasnable prices  
($20ish)...

We thought about buying some for our aging/dying Optiplex GX270s at  
$WORK, but the actual process to buy from them was too great - we are  
a school district, and have strict requirements on where we can buy...

I just bought some Dell KVM SIPs from them for home use...
