    Hey guys.

    I have a new CPU coming and a second SSD that I'm going to throw in my M17x R2 for raid0.

    What I need to know is a couple things.

    1: If anyone has upgraded the CPU in their R2, did they take photos/buildlogs of the process? is there any gotchas I need to be aware of when I tear it down.
    I have done many laptop repairs and teardowns before, but when its your own baby you tend to be a little more cautious.

    2: Does anyone know which OBHD (optical bay hard disk) adaptors work with the M17x R2 and where I can get one from?

    Thanks

    -Ash
