You can probably find one on eBay for not much more than $5 (there often seem to be people parting 5300s out). > 3. this is the "minor" consideration: where is a good place to get torx > drivers to work on the 5300? Radio Shack has a neat little multi bit ratchet set, including three torx bits, for under $10. The shank isn't long enough for some purposes, but certainly opens the case of a 5300. Alternatively, for a regular fixed-bit screwdriver, try an auto supply store or an electronics shop.
