[QUOTE="tangotoon, post: 1105562, member: 170619"] Wow that's some picture! Yeah if I do it I'll have to seriously decide what i'm going to do first, new linux tower, buy a 2nd hand macbook off ebay, or just fix one I've got, shoulder shrug. These laptops are 6 years old though, I mean they're falling apart, well mine is. Does anyone think it would just be worth it to build self a new tower, maybe even put mac osx on it? or linux? and that would last longer then my now 6 year old laptop? So far it's had new keyboards, 3 new chargers, a new logic board few years ago, and new case twice I think. Now hard drive's gone, the battery holds no charge and just falls out as the thing to hold it in properly is broken. Is this a sign to give up? [url]http://www.dabs.com/products/samsung-spinpoint-m5-2-5--160gb-5400rpm-8mb-cache-64RL.html?refs=52420000[/url] This is the hard drive I was thinking of getting. [/QUOTE]
