So, I'm looking on FleaBay to find out what the average price of a 36GB WD Raptor is so I can have a fair idea of what to sell mine for.  I came across one of them at $10.49.  $10!  I paid $130 for mine when I bought it almost 3 years ago.  They still go for $99 on Newegg.  But the funniest part is that I also was looking for a trackball that they just don't make anymore.  The Logitech Trackman Marble Wheel (I've got big paws, and that is the only model that adequately fits my hand).  I found one.  Current bid is $21.99...and even funnier still is that I actually want the trackball more, heh.  Though I'll likely bid on both.  My 36GB Raptor just isn't big enough to dual-boot XP x64 and Vista Ultimate x64.

Well, NewEgg offers $100, and yours is worth only $10, I think that it is because of the difference between a new and second hand one. You know, hard disc drives, once they are used...

36GB are definitely too few for the new operating systems. Althought it is worth $10, I suggest that you should sell it. Nowadays hard disc drives are so big, it is not reasonable to install many hard disc drives inside the systemc case, without mentioning the speed, at least that consumes extra electricity.

I have no comment on a second hand trackball - actually I never like it. tongue.gif

36GB Raptor I remember them had them about two years ago, I just got rid of my 150GB Raptors, went with Fujitsu 146GB 15000rpm SAS drives faster!
