I might consider buying that lower for the internals if the price is right. Tell the owner to PM me if he is so inclined.

I am not returning the lower, Ill just pull the guts out of it and see whats usable.
Between the parts from this drive, my drive and whatever I get with the refund
I think Ill have enough parts for one good drive and one backup drive.

I have been ruuning a big block in front of that 26 year old Alpha for about 6 years (200+ hours ) now.
Took that long for me to break it.
