Ditto. But isn't the thrill of the chase really worth it? I keep a small pile of Hard Drives set aside with interesting stuff I've found on cast aside machines. My last find didn't start out as a Mac find, but.... It was an old IBM Pentium tower, and I was looking for a tower as a Mac project box. Peeking inside, I was stunned to see not a standard IDE hard drive, but rather a 2.5' laptop drive in an adapter. Now, those adapters run about $12.00 new and they only wanted $8.00 for the whole tower. Long story short, not only did this beast work like a charm, the hard drive was 6 gigs (!) and now rests snugly in my PB 3400c. Tech safaris at Goodwill usually yeald something of interest. ^__^ -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
