Anyone know a good place to buy a hard drive (internal, 80-120gig) in Sheffield? Are the numerous shops on London Road going to be any use? How much should I expect to pay?
The hard drive has to be Mac compatible, but I can research that on the web once I spot a good deal.
Thanks

I was reccomended Direct computers near to the town side of London Road.
The guy is a good mate and he got a good deal there very recently.
Perhaps this is what you want?

160gig internal HDD (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=47653) for £75 + delivery. Beat that. Not sure about compatability with MACs though, so look around on the site there are plenty more, and Ebuyer is Sheffield based.

Can't recommend them as I've never been in, but there's a Mac specialist shop on West St. I think they're called "Mac Solutions" but can't find them on Yell.com.

Just to be an Agent Provocateur,Have you thought of buying an IBM based PC instead (I can see the flame war from here) <wry smile>

my advice is not to buy from shops... go direct over the web... no offense to anyone with a store.. but the prices are somewhat cheaper...

If you have a moden Mac, it should have an IDE connector, therefore a PC disk will work fine. Just remember to reformat the disk first!

www.ebuyer.co.uk every time. cheapest for pretty much everything computer related.
Ebuyer and Tekheads. 2 companys Ive dealt with in the past and would never get a penny of my money again.
www.ebuyer.com are good and generally beat any other place for price, hands down
their after-sales ain't that sparkling though - although i think this is just due to the massive amount of business they do
i buy all my pc equipment from them, as the prices and selection are so good
