my personal favorite 'what to do with useless technology' is throw from a parking garage
man i wish i had a video of those hitting the concrete
ops: :shock:
ive never had hardware fail on me~~~~~~~im lying
3 fans have failed on me, and my roommate keeps killing hard drives (working on drive #4 in the last 3 months
the other roommate had a HDD failuer that i directely blame the OEM company for being "fucking iditots" for some god unkown reason, the wrapped the Hard drive in a 'protective' rubber skin... perfect for insulation of the heat it produces!
cd drives are reletively inexpensive, so id recomend just going to either a local computer chop shop, or ebay to find one that will fit your laptop
