Dabs are offering a couple of different models of 2Tb drives for similar prices, one with free delivery for 85 quid. There seems to be something in the air at the moment, possibly the forthcoming release of 3Tb drives.
You should be able to get a SATA drive or two into your older machines using a PCI SATA card as I have done. You'll not get the full SATA2 speeds out of it but SATA 1 runs to about 200MBytes/sec theoretically (80MBytes/sec realistically).
