I did had this problem last time with my G4, the screw for the processor is totally different. If you tried to use another screw it will never get totally fit. Still can feel the processor not intact to the socket. Anyway do you all did found this kinda stuff for Mac Mini?  Moderator's NOTE: DO NOT DOUBLE POST PLEASE!!!!

RM2800 for 2X4GB RAM? Add a few hundreds, you could get an iMac.

i bought that HDD too. it seemed to work fine for 2/3 weeks..then become slower and slower. i cloned everything to the stock 250gb, swap it back n never experience the problem anymore. now i just use the 500gb as external for movies etc
no idea why though. i took it back to the shop already, got a new unit, and still same problem.
the 500gb scorpio blue shud b the best HDD for MBP...lots of reviews say so. tough luck :S
