    I'm afraid the limit of my computer knowledge would be pushed way to far to even think about doing this. :rotfl:

    Damn, I bet it'll be expensive, they charged me £50 for a hard drive and £50 to install it last time I went. :(

    about a year ago that would be about right, £50 for labour to change the drive, re-install windows and all drivers and updates.HDD have come down slightly since then, but certainly a reasonable cost for a shop. Ask them for a quote for

    1. them supplying and fitting fan, and

    2. you buy the fan and they fit it.

    for a guide, I found a new fan & heatsink middle of last year for an acer 5750 for around £37 new inc delivery. Prob min 1 hr labour charge, say, £25. If they hit £50-60 all-in that's reasonable.

    based in N Ireland, found them pretty reasonable for bits - if you don't see what you want listed, give them a ring, helpful peeps :)
