About a month ago Future Shop was selling a Lacie 1 TB drive for $170 (18 cents per gig). I'm almost kicking myself for not buying 2. I realize that doesn't help you right now of course ... let me go check if any similar deals are still going.

Edit: HA! They've got a Comstar platinum 1 TB going for $150. My only issue with this drive (I have the 500 gig version) is that there is a blue light on the front. I'm not exagerating when I say that it may be the brightest light ever produced by man. If you have it in a dark room it will give the entire area an ominous blue glow. Would have been cool when I was 17 but now I just find it annoying. I'm using it as a ps3 hard drive and I currently have it backwards in my media centre just to cut down on the light. I found when watching a movie in the dark it was far too distracting.
