Dell selling Seagate 1TB internal HD for $109.99

UPDATE: I called Dell today and they told me my order will be cancelled because there was either a pricing error or they're sold out. What a bummer!!!

• As of Aug 18th, evening: Some people have had theirs shipped. Most have orders that are "in production". Some have reported cancellation. My order status is "Order Processing" with estimated ship date August 19.
  
• As of Aug 17th, evening: Deal is dead, the original link doesn't work now. Another link for the drive at $200 works. (2008-08-19 14:27:12)

Talk about perfect timing... just when my rig's 320GB external hard drive is almost at capacity, Dell offers this spectacular deal which I've just picked up:

$109.99 after instant discount for a Seagate 1TB (1,000 GB) internal HD before tax as compared to $179.99 original price. In addition, you can take an additional 4% off by using Dell Preferred Account. That's around $0.11 per gigabyte -- the lowest I've seen to-date. I figured that 1TB HD would last quite awhile and would be a good investment for those who do a lot of torrenting (like me).
