    I've got a bit of a problem. In december i ordered an HP DM4 1163CL from costco but also ordered an envy 14 the other day. I want to return the DM4 to costco, but I've made a couple upgrades. The first is the addition of an intel 6250 ABGN+Wimax PCIE card (wanted so I could use WIDI). I can put the original network card back in. The second was the addition of an internal bluray drive. To do so, I had to buy a 9.5 mm tray loading drive and transplant the bezel. This required some minor surgery on the bezel and I cannot put it back on the original drive. I'm curious if anyone would be interested in buying this internal bluray drive (with bezel now attached) for the HP DM4? The eject button doesn't work (the mechanical switch didn't line up with the tray), but I did drill a tiny hole so you can manually eject the tray (or you can eject it from within windows, the same macs and slot loading drives do).
