Any chance you could come up with one? The data is as below:<br /><br />Hatachi<br />Model: HTS548080M9AT00<br /><br />Its an 80 Gig.<br /><br />I suppose its an IDE?<br /><br />It was in a Dell LATITUDE D610<br /><br />I'd figure finding a new 120 gig or less drive could be hard to do (Especially in this area) From what Dell says that computer won't handle over a 120 gig drive.<br /><br />My email address is the same as my blog name on a gmail.com account.tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-74565987515129090852010-09-19T22:42:50.005-05:002010-09-19T22:42:50.005-05:00Scavenger, I should have one coming from my nephed...Scavenger, I should have one coming from my nephed in a few days.

You won't touch the efficiency or cooling capacity by building your own. It comes with a roll away stand, but you can box it in in front of a window like I did to more or less make it a window unit. You have to make sure you can get to the top left corner to keep it filled with water. I think it holds 5 gallons and that would probably be good for 8 to 10 hours on low or medium. It was have a nob to restrict the flow of water though so you can stretch that considerably. The pump is always on because it runs off of a belt from the fan motor. Its also a turbine type fan and isn't effected near as bad by wind coming in from another window.<br /><br />Captain, I really did feel like doing that!tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-25533846874270042812010-09-19T02:35:18.519-05:002010-09-19T02:35:18.519-05:00I noticed to the right of the lastest pic of compu...I noticed to the right of the lastest pic of computer problem is a pellet gun and a pump shotgun. You may want to try the "12 guage pump reboot" method. It works by "pointing, chambering and clicking on the trigger icon" and BOOM, problem solved.

I got a chance to see John Wells' cooler and was amazed by how well it works.

It sits inside it and the foam just makes it draw through the screen, but like it was in the window.

If the laptop is good, I highly recommend getting a solid state drive for it. If you're due for new, see if you can find a netbook with a SSD. I love that little computer I had with me. Upgraded it to 2Gb RAM and a 64Gb SSD. Hardly uses any power at all, and has great battery life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-11036675073866714522010-09-18T17:24:21.020-05:002010-09-18T17:24:21.020-05:00Oh no ..................Oh no ..................Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07108064010179241173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-58780410870175998572010-09-18T17:08:58.205-05:002010-09-18T17:08:58.205-05:00I was wondering what was up. hope all is well soon...I was wondering what was up. hope all is well soon.<br />I see you have your evap mounted in the window now, Real Cool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-44309022868368788142010-09-18T13:42:30.086-05:002010-09-18T13:42:30.086-05:00I am sorry to hear that David.
