Any recommendations for buying cheap HDDs for the Webplayer? http://www.compgeeks.com/products.asp?cat=HDD has several for reasonable prices. Any other sources?

that's where I got my Hitachi HD too. Works like a charm. :)

check out any computer surplus stores in your area. I got a few 4 GB toshiba drives for around 40 each from Halted here in the bay area. plus they sell cheap ide cables (~$5). and if no surplus stores, then pricewatch.com or pricegrabber.com are good... just make sure to check out the vendor's report with BBB before you actually place an order. I've seen 20 gig drives on there for ~$60. I'd order one, but i need immediate gratification :)

eBay is a great place to get them. I got a new 12 gig toshiba for around $50. I did notice that 12 gigs are about the same price as 4-6 gig hard drives....Why?

Thanks for the suggestions, here's what I did. My friend has an Archos MP3 Jukebox with a 6GB drive. We split the cost of a 20GB drive from ebay that I got for $86, shipping included. So he gets the 20GB drive installed in his jukebox, I get his old 6GB drive, and we each paid $43. Yeah, he got the better deal but we're both happy.
