i was planning on buying a external hd around 1tb mark and $250 or less
are there any good stores in Australia that sell this cheap or a trusted Australian site because new egg is American and world prices aren't looking so good

Do this...
Buy an external HD enclosure ( 40 AUD ~ )
Buy an 1 TB hard drive ( 190 AUD ~ )
You can find deals anywhere between 200 to 250 total...
YOU MUST GET AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE WITH A FAN! Or else your 1TB hdd wont last as long.

check the catalogues, because i've seen 1tb external hdd's in my area (yes i live in australia) for around the $200 mark, and sometimes even less. also try out a super billing store if you live near one.

nice, thats pretty cheap
there are a lot of JBHIFIs around now too, shouldnt be too hard
localhost's idea is good too, but better to get a pre-made one if you can
(who doesnt live in australia nowadays, geez)

Yeah, I've seen one at JBHiFi for $209. Or, you could get the case and the 1TB HDD for around the same price.
