    Hey guys I have an HP DV7 Entertainment Model and it comes with enough room for 2 Internal HD's but in order to put the second HD in you need a mounting kit which consists of 2 small rails and a sata cable.. HP wants 90 dollars for these parts.. and if i just want to buy an HD with them from HP it's 230 dollars for a 500gb HD. Right now I can buy a 500GB Notebook HD for 60 bucks so it's hardly worth it. So my question is, are there any aftermarket parts kits I could get to make it work? Right now I have it in a small USB external enclosure but I would really like to have it internally.. So Just wondering if there are any aftermarket kits I could use to get this in there.. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
