OK, so first off, thanks for all your guys feedback on my prior posting about a young guy's interest in a computer gaming system. I passed along the info - not sure where/how far it went ... good info anyways.
on another front, the laptops i've purchased for myself/house I've replaced the spinning metal with SSD's. I've then given some of these spinning metals away. Now, there's an interest to get a couple/few spinning metal drives to put into laptops for casual use for some other peoples ... Does anyone have any source for older laptop hd's ... even as small as 20gb or so would be fine (they are probably hard to find too) ... there's a couple i'm looking for in the next while ...
Thanks. Dan.

Old parts, always check my forsale lists! https://tecnopolis.ca/forsale/fs_c-misc.forsale.computers.storage.html search "notebook" (first grouping)
My prices are "suggestions", find out a FMV and make me an offer! Unlike online, I back everything up with money-back against DOA (unless it says flaky/dying/dead) and returns are as easy as coming to a MUUG meeting.
I may have a few more of these around not on the list yet but they'd be newer/bigger ones and probably sata. I'm also willing to throw the lot at you, you test and return what you can't use, pay for what you can.
