If you only have 1 DVDs worth of stuff, why not just bring the old HDD and one of us can copy those files from the HDD to a DVD and you can go home with that. Beats lugging a whole computer around. Otherwise, I can bring an LCD Monitor and I've got some blank DVDs that need to used up too. Let me know by the 5th what you need and I'll bring it with me on the 6th.
