    I have been buying some clean CF-74s for family and friends laptops. The last one I got was the 3rd one I bought from one particular seller on Feebay. Of course, now that I have purchased the laptop... they don't know me. I'll give them another day or two to respond but they sent me the caddy box (top & bottom) but no foam casing or connector.

    Anyone have one? I only spent $41 for the laptop so I don't really want to spend too much.

    PM me if so... Or post here...

    Thanks,


    Rick

    Well I bought a 74 awhile back the same way, it did have the foam in it, just not the sata cable. So if either of you (shawn/toughbook) need any of it let me know.
