that's strange, i would have said the opposite!

i've changed the hard drives of my ti 400, my 12" pb and lately my  
17" pb. the easiest was the 17", everything being "nicely" spaced  
out, as opposed to the 12". as for the titanium, i remember having  
problems (but that should NOT put you off) with the flexibilitly/ 
flexiness(?) of the case. it bends out of shape (too) easily…

other than that, it's not that hard.
