Hi everyone,

My old old old laptop hard drive melted and I am looking to replace it but most cost effectively. Fabrizio has offered to look for a new one for me but, in the meantime, I´ll keep looking for an old one.

Does anyone know of a PC repair shop that might sell old drives? Any info will be appreciated.

Thanks, Rebecca

PS - if you didn´t make it to whiffle ball you missed a REALLY good time. Thanks Fab!!

Hi Jarbacky -

Have you tried going to a Cash Converters where they sell computers second hand? You might be able to find something cheap there. I don't know about the Rastro in La Latina but the mini Rastro that is set up on Avenida de Asturias on Sunday mornings (metros Ventilla and Plaza Castilla) have a couple of stands where they sell used computer parts. Might be able to find something there as well...

Regarding wiffle ball, I heard that Fabrizio got pulled over by the cops for drunk biking! smiler

hey rebeccas smiler

You can get a brand new 40Gb 2.5" Hard Drive for 47 euros. Couldn´t find any 10Gb ones sorry. Not sure buying used the only actual part that wears out on a PC (OK other than the keyboard and maybe the mouse ball) is a really good idea. You really have no way of knowing how worn out is other than if you get that fatal warning thingie I was joking about the other day...


I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.
