Can't you buy a brand new Core? They are pretty cheap in Europe and then you can just swap the old harddrive. Just make sure to look for the newest possible manufacturing date. You can also call them up and just say that your box died and needs to be fixed -- the worst that will happen is that they will ship it back unfixed at their expense.

What would switching the hard drive do?

Someone mentioned that the 3 year warranty is covered in the UK although sounded unsure...Just to let you know.

Its a worldwise policy 3 year warranty.

Also, I sent mine in WHEN THE WARRANTY STICKER HAD BEEN REMOVED...

They still repaired it (It was even still flashed to iXtreme firmware!)...Came back with a new warranty sticker and a new motherboard\cooling setup.
