I just called a few places for prices on a Conner CP3104 with a AT kit. Here are the prices that I got: Hard Drives International: $529 Dirt Cheap Drives: $499 Hokkins Systemation, Inc. (HSI): $430 Has anyone dealt with HSI before? They are based in San Jose. DC Drives wouldn't touch that price with a 10 foot pole. Is it too good to be true? I called them back a second time to make sure. This time I spoke to someone else and they quoted me $474. I told her that someone had quoted me $430 just 30 minutes ago. She went to check and said: yes, that was my boss that you spoke to. I can give it to you for $430. Comments anyone? Andrew Lee anlee@mis.arizona.edu

I've only dealt with Hard Drives International. Keep in mind that they offer a 30-day refund and 1-year exchange policy. Like you, I always wonder about suspiciously low prices. If you order from the lowest- cost source, I'd recommend using a credit card. This gives you some bargaining power if you later have reason to regret the purchase. Frank Calloway
