disks are not the best thing for a medium/high traffic server.

A 120 GB ATA-100 IBM disk costs $162 at googlegear.

The 180 GB model is more pricey, since it's the current top of the
line, and will cost you $288.  That's $1.60 per GB.

Looks like completely misparsed that. I think he just said that IDE
wsn't desirable. Why don't you price equivalent high-speed scsi disks,
see if they come out to $1/GB.
