If i have another hard drive fail me im guna flip! Im in the USA, so a store from USA would be nice.

It would be very useful if you told us if you want a IDE or SATA hard drive.

Not a fan of anything other than Western Digital to be honest, they have been the most reliable for me.

Sorry, forgot to say SATA2. a 3GB/s interface. i go on newegg almost every day. i have read the reviews for the top rated drives in this class, and i got to say, im not all the hyped about any of them. they all have reviews (some more than other, but still a lot) of drives failing. they only one that look to have almost no bad reviews was the 750GB, but its a wee bit expensive.
