Use an emply ice tray to organize the screws in the order you take them out. It makes it much easier to put them back in and hopefully not forget any. I've replaced iBook hard dri…

*BUMP* Having finished my Finals I've now got time to mess about with this sort of stuff. Pricerunner.co.uk seemed to think this was a good deal. Any opinions?: http://www.qed-uk…
