Since I'm 1 month out of warranty they'll give
me 25% off the repair cost ($139.90-%25=$104).

That sucks. I was hoping they'd just throw it in, I didn't
fight with the guy for more, just not in the mood and
$100 for a new box isn't terrible (free shipping both
ways). I hope I get an entirely new box but I'm guessing
they'll just pull the board out and put a new board in,
leaving the loud DVD drive intact. Maybe they'll suck
the dust out of it as well.

You know, I've been thinking a lot about the thing
breaking. My DVD drive would spin down real NASTY
sounding, like someone just slammed on the brakes.
And I figured for as much as I use it I must have a ton
of dust in there.

Maybe I willed it.
