Hi Andy,
Computer Exchange (used to be near the Bargate, now in Marlands) might
stock used disks. I bought some 3.5" 20Gb units recently from one of
their London branches. They have a short warranty period, not sure of
exact length.
Other suggestion is the computer fair that occurs in the Novotel hotel
near West Quay once a month.
I have some low capacity 3-4Gb 3.5" HDDs (and other bits) which I'm
planning to give away for free at the next Soton LUG meet. Might be
useful if you're building a cheap software firewall appliance.
