Just heard back from ACME Computers (my new favouritest place! and they were able to extract the drive from the case no problem - I just need to buy a new case (the pretty mirrored one!) and I'm good to go - so as soon as it's ordered in I'm back in business! Will post pics of the setup/camera rigs once I get them back.
Previously -
My external hard drive has broken (the usb connection came loose - apparently a common problem with this model.) It's under warranty so I get a new one - but loose the 300GB of data! Including the high def version of Judder, and almost all of the animation files, documentation, everything. I found someone to try to recover the data (for free, because he really wants to take one apart!) but it's not likely at all that anything will survive. :( Next time I'm getting two mirrored externals!!
