These are SilentPCReview's current favorite quiet, big drives. These are bare drives with the full 3 year warranty, so I don't think they are refurbs, and there is no mention at Tiger that they are. You'll need a SATA cable (~$7).
If you use an older PC, you might need a SATA PCI controller card (item # M501-1086 @$20), which can control 2 SATA drives. Tiger has a SATA cable/SATA->PATA/IDE power adapter, which is needed to connect a SATA drive to power supplies designed for IDE/PATA drives (item # C250-2138 @$7).
Since I'm putting 2 in my case, I also needed a 5.25" to 3.5" mounting kit to fit this 3.5" drive into a 5.25" bay (item #C250-2007). I also bought a 120mm case fan to replace my current 80mm fan, since I'll be generating more heat with the 2 drives. I plan to mirror the 2 drives, so I don't have to re-rip and re-tag 1200 CDs in case of a crash. I bought a bag of PC screws for $4 (item #ULT31338), to make sure everything assembles. Total cost was $380 delivered for 1TB of storage.
They're best current gb/$ deal was a 320gb drive for $80. I don't remember the brand, or if was SATA or PATA/IDE. I went with the 500gb, because I think my collection might fit on one drive.
This should complete my PC music set-up. I recently bought a Squeezebox 3, which I am going to swap for the Transporter before my eval time is over, or use the SB3 with a Benchmark DAC1 if the TP doesen't float my boat (I hope it does). I also just got the EMU 1212 sound card from Musician's Friend for $99, for the office system which also serves as the music server for the SlimDevices toys.
Now to rip 1200 or so CDs... See ya in 3 years
