3ware raid controllers cheap

[P5-133XL]

It appears that there is a glut of people on Ebay dumping 3ware 7810's dropping the price down. I assume that some companies are upgrading to either the current model (7506-8/12) or the 8000 series. Here's an opportunity for those that are interested in grabbing a good IDE raid controller relatively inexpensively.

We are talking about $95-$150 for an 8 port model

w00t!

I managed to get a 7810 for $121 + shipping. Now I just need a 64bit PCI slot to put it in.

I got 5 for $450 and another Single for $95 plus shipping: Me going to fill all my computers with these. For those that don't want to wait for the bid process - there are "buy it nows" for $119 -> $150. I've been watching them for a couple weeks with the intention of buying one; watching the quanties go up and the prices drop. Then I picked realy low priced ones to bid on. Every few days, some more are listed and some are just priced at a price that is hard not to buy. I start wondering how low are they going to go?
