Good enough.

Post #368,092 by folkert 12/17/12 10:37:11 PM Reply	Good enough. Though $220 seems a bit steep. All it takes is a couple of suction cups and a proper screw driver. $94 with shipping for a 1TB drive form NewEgg. About 3" of tape to hold the wires again, replacing the tape that was ruined or dried out. Took me 10 minutes tops to put in a new drive and then about 1/2 hour of waiting around to install the OS on the drive. But, I hope it works for you. -- greg@gregfolkert.net PGP key 1024D/B524687C 2003-08-05 Fingerprint: E1D3 E3D7 5850 957E FED0 2B3A ED66 6971 B524 687C

Post #368,103 by folkert 12/18/12 12:56:36 AM Reply	40 minutes? 10 minutes to replace the drive and 30 to install the OS... After the drive its a 3-5 click process. Its the easy part. Restoring from backups... that'll take a long while and be finicky. Ehhh. Whatever floats your boat Dolla-Bill-man. -- greg@gregfolkert.net PGP key 1024D/B524687C 2003-08-05 Fingerprint: E1D3 E3D7 5850 957E FED0 2B3A ED66 6971 B524 687C

Its been a while since I constructed a monstrosity like those. Though I still have a 600MHz machine downstairs... though its toast. One drive took out a whole array of drives. -- greg@gregfolkert.net PGP key 1024D/B524687C 2003-08-05 Fingerprint: E1D3 E3D7 5850 957E FED0 2B3A ED66 6971 B524 687C

Yes, I had the suction cups, spudgers, tape, and everything else that was necessary. Same $220 charge, though, which she didn't have so I was glad to spend the time for her.
