You can't. They do not have a showcase. You order by email and someone delivers the product to you.

Do they even make hard drives that are smaller than 100GB's anymore?

You know what pisses me off. If you want 300GB's...you have to buy 320GB. Because if you buy 300GB you'll get 290GB of actual space. I hate that bullshit.

Re: external hard disk

Word of advice guys, and Mir, and this is really based on personal experience, don't go hasty with your external. Here's the thing. Seagate rocks, and unless it's refurbished, and trust me, there are tons of those in Lebanon nowadays, it would never give you a hard time. WD on the other hand, has a tendency to lose data for no apparent reason. You'll have to recover them using the integrated recovery software, which still bugs. Maxtor, SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW... These are the top 3 brandnames in Lebanon. Here's the thing. Original merchandise, imported legally from the brandname companies, are still really expensive. Why? Because this is Lebanon. Resellers don't have self-respect, and importers cheat. A Seagate external that you see in Waseet and costs 117$ +VAT is unbelievable. Yes PC parts and peripherals are getting cheaper by the day everywhere else in the world, but in Lebanon, they have to go through 3 departments before they reach the marketplace. Unless they're smuggled goods, they won't be that cheap legally. We run into issues with our clients when it comes to prices. Eventually, it's up to them. But we say, there's the market quality, and there's pure original quality. Your choice. But believe us, you will see one heck of a performance difference.

Re: external hard disk

I bought a LaCie external 500 gb (1/2 tera ) at compuworld a while ago.
Paid a little over 100 us dollars. I get a special price, but if you can discuss... haggle a bit, you can get a good price too...
