The SmartMoney Computer Storage Screen

FOR THE INVESTORS who've gotten used to triple-digit revenue jumps and off-the-map price-to-earnings ratios, looking for bargains seems a bit anachronistic. Who needs bargains when the expensive stocks are reaching new heights every day?

In our screen, we took a fast-paced industry with high stock prices — computer storage — and compared it to nothing but itself. By limiting our scope, we were able to screen for the sector's high-growth bargains. Yes, a high-growth bargain is an oxymoron if you take a wider view, but here it's all relative.

Click here for the recipe we used; you can also download additional data on our three featured companies. Numbers here were current as of Dec. 3.
