I don't know much about them but got an email from Epson today
advertising a bunch of refurbished products. I ended up buying a V700
flatbed scanner for $352 and happened to notice several of their storage
devices available as refurbs as well
<http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/BuyEpson/ccProductCategory.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid=-13263>
But notice the most expensive unit, the P-5000 at $359. It has an 80GB
drive. But for very close to the same money ($365) you could by this
refurbished Dell laptop with WinXP and 80GB drive and have a much more
versatile general computing device with larger display screen and easily
upgraded software to display the raw files of the latest E-thing

Of course, if you only need storage and not display there are probably
much cheaper alternatives.
