So who wants to fight for...hard drives?

That's what I meant OEMs will charge us a bit more so they can pay the repair costs. It's not like they will send us all a letter asking for money, or beg on the streets
No way. That's far more than I'm willing to do this afternoon lolIf you're bored fix your site since it doesn't work.
I believe Acer is the first OEM to bump up prices due to the floods. The last significant component price increases that I recall in recent memory are DDR3 from late 2009, the HD 5800 release, and the 8800GT.No one wants to fight for them, but this is the holiday season and geeks, nerds and some consumers are out upgrading or buying new HDDs. We have OEMs like Apple, HP and Toshiba constantly buying HDDs. Not to mention those companies that buy HDDs for their IT departments or Data centers.
I.... the HD 5800 release, and the 8800GT.

Bitcoin mining wiped out the remaining new stocks of the HD 5830 and 5850 in 2011. At launch the HD 5850 could pull over ~$300. The last few were around ~$139 new at retail. I am sure those Bitcoin miner's hardware is turning up on eBay nowadays.The HD5800 series was just something special. AMD had the best GPU out there and TSMC just could not cope. I was a victim of the 2009 DDR3 increase. Sucks.

I believe a goal is to convert it into a currency capable of normal international transactions. Otherwise it is a Bitcoins for goods and services market. Long story, I do not know.I don't get it. Which sites take Bitcoins?
glad I got my 1tb drive last month for only $55 now I looked on Amazon where I got it. WOW
Wow. I'm only using 5GB of my hard drive with documents and Apps. What the hell are you storing to use so much?
One thing left to wonder. How is Apple and other OEMs going to handle this? Higher priced computers?

I've noticed while prices are much higher than they were target is selling a WD 2tb external for 89.99 and for some reason best buy has a 2tb for 79.99 and that same drive is 150+ from amazon. Me thinks I should scoop some up before the price triples everywhere
Big box stores tend to be the last to react to price changes. Which is good when prices go up, but they'll eventually raise theirs, and when prices drop, they'll be much more expensive than everyone else.
Snatching up a 2TB drive to keep as a backup in case you have a HD failure sometime in the next few months probably isn't a terrible idea though.
