@darth: the 2008 macbook is insanely easy to swap the hdd I found when I thought the drive had suddenly died on me (turns out I just broke the OS trying to set it up to compile code...)
remove the battery, unscrew the ram/hdd cover, pull the tab and the hdd tray comes out.
it's 4 alan wrench screws holding it to the tray/caddy... and it's a 2.5in sata hdd so any old drive of that form factor should work.
one other nice feature, the battery has a button on the bottom with 4 lights, it actually has a dedicated power meter on the battery... like wtf? XD
