Hitachi is the only one that makes a 7200. They can be had for around $150 and are SO WORTH IT. Buy it online, zipzoomfly or newegg.

I've been running the 60 gb in my 17 in for the last year and it runs whisper quiet, does not heat up and makes the box run like a desktop.

Best computer money I've spent in a while.

The RAM is at Best Buy.

under $100 including tax with a $25 rebate.

Even w/o the rebate it's a good deal for 512 mb of brand name memory.
