    See topic.

    Just wondering if the slot drive is available as a 'part' for the BB retail version. Not a neccessity on my laptop right now but its available (and doable) for a decent drive, I'd like to throw that in.

    Thanks

    We don't have the slot load clip-on outer shell.

    But doesn't that ussually come with the drive? Would be nice, i would not buy it, but if i ever need to replace it due to damage or upgrade to blu ray, is nice to know the option is there.

    But the clip on the tray one has an orange streak on it to go with the P-series. I doubt the one that comes with the drive, if any, would go well otherwise.
