    Moo,

    I see the other video for changing the CPU and GPU but not one for adding a drive...Is that video elsewhere?

    Thanks

    Cool. I think I'm going to order a m17x tomorrow and go with one SSD but will want to add a second HDD for storage after I receive it. :D which can take a while after what I've been reading.

    Man Dell is keeping the price up. I remember when I bought my XPS m1710 3 years ago. I was able top get a pretty decent discount over the phone. Today, all the reps I talked to were like $150-200 max discount.

    That lappy will be costing a lot :eek:
