Quote - Tigerdirect can have one in the mail to you this afternoon. Just go to their website and click the chat icon. They are nice people to deal with.

Yeah, and I know they have an identical company in Canada (so you don't get walloped with fees) :). Those IDE/SATA to USB gizmos are really cheap :).

FWIW, a cpu frying in a laptop is a common thing - they do get really hot. I had one up and die from the same thing myself last year (I'm still in mourning...lol).
