If I come up with the 120 after christmas I may get the laptop if you still have it. Im a vocational computer tech and Im always looking for stuff like that to fix.
Hopefully for my sake it sell before christmas (or at the least some of the stuff I have for sale) but If I still have it at that time I am sure we can work something out.
Its a super easy job to install a hard drive once you have one (less than 5 minutes to install it and about 15-20 minutes to install the operating system).
