Where to find good cheap hard drives and graphics tablets?

Graphics tablets and different pens?

• Lately I've started getting into art and so forth a bit more than before and wanted to try using a graphics tablet because sometimes I don't really want to use my sketchbook and the colour range I can achieve on a computer program would be better. Anyways a friend of mine said he has a spare graphics tablet that he doesn't use anymore because of the faulty pen, I can't find a trust graphics tablet pen anywhere so was just wondering if i could use pens from another make or are they specifically suited for that tablet?

• Answer:

  I'm assuming that each pen is designed for the particular tablet, but it doesn't hurt to try a new pen to see if it will work. Buy a tablet that has extra accessories available, like the pen, nibs/pen tips, etc.... Check out Vistablet website. The VisTablet PenPad is only $42.
