And that's $700+ BEFORE YOU EVEN HAVE THE iPOD, let alone have it modded, THEN have to buy the cable. Prepare to be iBroke.

The price has been knocked down considerably.

That's still $250 for just the hard drive, and it's not even 120gb. But if you want to up the HD on your photo to 80gb, prepare to be iBroke:

That's the cheapest you can find it. So the ZIF connectors REALLY drop the price, but otherwise, that's a pretty hefty tag before you even get into buying the ipod and mod and cable....sheesh.
I want to see how this pans out. How many people are willing to buy a $1000 portable that was originally told to not be worth modding (4th gen was the only worth it...riiiiigggghhhht)?
Not slamming anybody but this is a bit rediculous. IMO, anybody that buys one is a fool, unless it sounds COMPLETELY and utterly better. There can be nothing subjective about it...
