In October, I upgraded the hard disk drive of my 15" MacBook Pro, using this excellent video guide.
This is the start of the procedure, with the battery and memory cover removed from the bottom of the laptop. The bottom of the trackpad and the lower RAM module are visible. I have cleared a space on the table and put down a towel to prevent scratching, and to stop the screws getting lost. As each set of screws were removed, I taped them to the towel.
In the background is my screwdriver set, with the necessary Torx T6 and Phillips #0 bits, the new 320GB SATA drive, the memory cover, and the screws from the cover. There are only two, because I lost one when I upgraded the memory in 2006. This time around I’m being much more careful.
To the right, outside the frame, is the computer I used to watch the video as I performed the replacement.

What size is this Timbuk2, and how does it fit all of this?
I’m going to put 50mm 1.8 and XSi in here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000U79SCO/sr=1-3/qid=124097702...
Will this fit in a small, with room for more stuff, or should I go medium?
It’s an exercise in back pain, but everything kind of stacks in place. I don’t think I’d be fitting much else in there with everything in the bag though. It’s about 10 to 20 pounds worth of stuff when it’s completely full; it fits a lot more than it looks like, plus it has a nice built in laptop sleeve. Occasionally I go really crazy and shove a tripod in the top of the bag too.
You’d be able to fit the XSi with a 50mm f1.8 (great lens) in that Lowepro bag, but not much else beyond a backup SD card and maybe a battery. If you’re looking to carry along any extra lenses, I’d suggest something more this size: http://www.amazon.com/Lowepro-Rezo-180-Camera-Bag/dp/B0009W8WDQ/ref=sr_1_82?ie=UTF8&s=photo&qid=1241036379&sr=1-82
