But you should research equivalent hard drive prices online first so you know whether the price they give you is worth it. You said the drive was a 750 GB, and it's probably 5400 RPM. From a very quick search on Amazon, those are generally going for around $40-60 at the moment. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.
