Series 3 Upgrade - pay for help?

[cosmarc]

I'm going to buy a Series 3 and would like to have it upgraded to 750. How do I find someone to do that for me? Are there companies out there that do this? Computer shop? I'm not very good at doing this sorta stuff myself. Any advice would be appreciated.

Or you could just buy an S3 that is already upgraded.

I believe there is a coupon code for the TC store floating around.

Or do it yourself, unless it really isn't your thing.

I just upgraded my S3 with the WeaKnees pre-formatted 750GB DB35 Seagate. It was truly a snap; it took about 30 minutes (pop the case, disconnect the cables, take out the original hard drive, mount the new hard drive, reconnect the cables, then slap the case back on). Then run through guided setup. There's a current holiday coupon in effect until Dec. 18 (I believe). Holiday50 for orders over $500 - Holiday20 for orders over $200 - and Holiday10 for orders over $100. Couple that with the Google discounts (for going through Google checkout), and I saved $70.

Just remembered something. If you buy an S3 pre-upgraded, you don't get to keep the original 250GB drive. May make more sense to buy an S3 and the drive separately.
