is that a good one? im building a computer, and im not sure if this is that SATA or whatever the better connection is for hard drives.

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...
