Yup. Depends on which one you get, of course, but they can be bought that cheap rather easily. The Western Digital WD10EARS CaviarGP 1TB 64mb cache SATA II, yada yada would probably be my choice. Its more expensive than some 1TB drives, but well worthe the extra few $$. Its $117ish from GearXS.

VERY true. I graduated a couple years ago (and unfortunately none of the teachers were hot...), but next time a situation such as that arises, I will indeed make the most of it.
