Re: [vox] Hard Drives are cheap...
If they don't give me my rebate, I plan on taking it very personal.

OfficeMax and we have always gotten our money from them.
I haven't had any problems with the Western Digital drives that I
have now. They have a three year warrantee, but I am not sure of
the details with that.
