    I was just wondering if anyone knows what type/model of blu-ray fits a P170HM? I wanted to order one with a blu-ray burner in it but its a bit out of the price range so I am looking to add the blu-ray after, is this possible?

    I have found the Panasonic UJ-240 to be one of the most cost effective solutions. You can pick them up on Ebay and they range in price. If you watch for awhile you can get for for a steal! I got an HP branded UJ-240 (which is a burner) for $69. You can find them pulled out of HP's and Dells all over Ebay. But the UJ-240 is the best price/quality option out there I think.

    Perfect, I will keep an eye on that. Thanks for the help! Good to know I don't need to buy one right away.
