hi folks,
my hard disc burned 3 weeks ago....ibook G3 600mghz (2001 model i believe).
Anyway, i've been to a mac shop (europe) and i've been proposed, a 40giga for 160euro with the repairs and 120 or 140euro without the repairs. Or, a 60giga for 280 with the repairs or 160euro without.
I'll have confirmation of these prices from the shop in the week.
....first i'm quite interested to do it myself and secondly i think that either they don't charge much for the hand work or they clearly over charged the price of the hard disc. i remember i've seen some 40giga about 80$ US....
i firstly thought to instal a 40giga.....i have a 20 right now.... for i've red a guy who instaled a 60giga at 7200rpm and he complained about overheat in the laptop... so i thought 40giga will be more reasonable. But the 60 giga i've been proposed is 4200rpm, now does it takes a part in the warm phenomenon? 'cos i'm quite tempted to instal a 60....
So...advices about hard disc brands, rpm speed, overheat problems, etc, and links to dealers to find the best price...are welcome.
thank you folks.
