    Believe it or not my kid came home with an HDX18 which is in mint condition except for not having a HDD. She found it at Goodwill for - get this - 25 bucks... Memory checks out great and the DVD drive works.... all it seems to need is a HDD and the OS (Win 7)..


    Anyone know of a relatively cheap good (320 or 500 GB) HDD I can drop in this badboy???... also where can I snag the Drivers for the machine after I get it up and running???...

    sheesh I can't believe someone got rid of this thing...


    Thanks in advance

    Newegg has tons of drives. 320-500 GB these days are around 50-70 USD for a 7200 RPM one.
