No, that is not Serial, the EIDE in the picture is for the IDE/Parallel interface. $115 for a 320GB HDD is pretty good for retail, you could always get it cheaper at Newegg, but they don't have the overhead... Overall, if you're ok with IDE, it's a good buy, otherwise you might have to do a little more digging...

Here's a decent deal on a SATA drive, 160GB for a little over $100...
