    I will be purchasing the M11X and have read that some hard drives do not fit in the unit, and to be honest, I've never upgraded a laptop with anything, so I really don't want to mess up and get the wrong hard drive :p

    1) Hard Drive (upgrade):
    My budget is 100$ max (lower the better). Links to Hard Drives on sale and that would fit would be appreciated :)

    2) Ram (upgrade):
    Alienware's website has an additional 2GB of RAM for 50$ (making it 4GB total). Is this a good deal in your opinion, or could I do better, considering it's Black Friday. Which RAM is recommended and from where?

    3) External DVDR:
    Since I'm unfamilar with company names in this area and I'm not sure if the three listed on the Alienware website are fairly priced, could you suggest one?

    Thanks!
