Aha just a little competition for fun, using any internet shopping websites see what is the smallest price you can get per gigabyte. Prices must include VAT but don't have to include delivery and obviously must be in sterling.

Once you've found a product/HDD, divide the price by the number of gigabytes.

For example:
Apple iPod classic 80GB black
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-iPod-classic-80GB-black/dp/B000UVS20Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1220973500&sr=8-1
£140.97
140.97 divided by 80 = 1.762125
Then round up or down to the nearest pence.
£1.76 per gigabyte (Should be very easy to beat)

That's either genius or idiocy, I'd guess the latter.
