David, MCE will do a great job, but as with most turn-key solutions
you'll pay more for the drive.
You might consider buying a 80MB Hitachi and sending it to MCE for
install and have them do the CardBus upgrade at the same time. They
should cut you a deal on the CardBus labor since you have to go all the
way in to do the HD. The early Toshibas were problematic on the 2400,
but that was 8 years ago. ;-).
2.5" drive will work. 3.5" was standard. Heat is always in issue with
the 2400 so you might ask the installer to be sure the 2.5" is making
contact with the heat sink and/or other heat absorption component.
I think you'll be happily surprised how much quicker the 2400 will feel
with a faster HD for most everyday task.
cheers...

The HD in my 2400 has finally croaked. I remember conversations on the
list (but when?) about which ones do and don't work in the 2400 but of
course I didn't save them. Can anyone give me any hints on 1) which
disk to get and 2) a place to get it installed?
Thanks,
David
