And here I am trying to figure out what to do with my <300GB drives that 
I used in my SDTV system now that I've upgraded to a 4-capture-card 
HDTV-only system.  The <300GB drives just aren't worth the 
electricity...  They're too small for a Myth box, but waaaay too big for 
almost anything else.  With all my media on my Myth boxes, even my file 
server is using <25GB of 160GB (and most of that is images of my 
GNU/Linux builds and I haven't cleaned up the filesystem in over a year).

If they replaced an 80 with a 500 or a 750, I'd be interested (and could 
go from a 3TB to a 3.5 or 3.75TB Myth box), but anything less just isn't 
worth it.

(Oh, before anyone asks, I'm giving them out to family members who are 
self-conscious about HDD sizes even though they've only used 
6GB--including the Windows install and all apps--of 20-80GB.)
