[QUOTE="mathogre, post: 336038, member: 25890"] A few weeks ago I bought a Toshiba 120G hard drive from Newegg. I switched it for my 60G unit, and it has been great. At the time the drive was $85. The only annoyance was that the Official Apple Instructions for replacing a hard drive did NOT mention the mounting plate used torx screws. These are the ones that look like 6 pointed stars. Once I solved that little problem, things went fine. My MacBook has been great ever since. I've had good experience with Newegg from past purchases (PC equipment). They're good. As far as buying a machine w/ an 80G drive and switching it yourself for a 120G, that's entirely up to you. Look at the prices. Personally I'd consider it if it would save me at least $100 total, but I wouldn't do it for just a few bucks. While easy to switch, it will take you time to switch drives and load a new system onto the new drive. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
